Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
p% = p 'out of one hundred',
p% is read p 'percent',
p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.
44% = 44/100 = 44 ÷ 100 = 0.44.
100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1.
Decrease number by 44% of its value.
Percentage decrease = 44% × 13
New value = 13 - Percentage decrease
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3.5 miles/(29.4 minutes)
26 miles × (29.4 minutes)/(3.5 miles) = 218.4 minutes
218.4 minutes × (1 hour)/(60 minutes) = 3.64 hours
44
Assuming JM and LN are parallel, KMJ=MKN. MKN is part of a triangle where the other two values are defined (48 and 88). By subtracting these values from 180, we find the value of MKN is 44, which therefore is also the value of KMJ.
Solve either equation for either variable. Since the second one has y on its own, the easiest choice is to solve that for y.
-5x + y = 13 ⇒ y = 5x + 13
Now substitute this into the other equation to eliminate y and rewrite it entirely in terms of x :
-3x + 3y = 3 ⇒ -3x + 3 (5x + 13) = 3
Simplify and solve for x :
-3x + 15x + 39 = 3
12x = -36
x = -3
Substitute this into either original equation to solve for y. Plugging x = -3 into the first equation would give
-3 (-3) + 3y = 3
9 + 3y = 3
3y = -6
y = -2
So the solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (-3, -2).
