Answer: The secretary's salary prior to the reduction was $42,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:
The original secretary's salary (x) multiplied by the percentage reduction in decimal form (4.5/100) must be equal to the amount of the reduction (1890)
Mathematically speaking:
x (4.5/100)= 1890
Solving for x:
x (0.045)= 1890
x = 1890/ 0.045
x = 42,000
The secretary's salary prior to the reduction was $42,000.
First you gotta do rise over run. then once you do that, you should get your answer. which is x=-4

Answer:
1) x = 6, y = -2 + 1/3x
2)
Step-by-step explanation:
1) x-3y=6
-3y=6-x, 6-x/-3y
y = -2 + 1/3x
x - 3(-2+1/3x) = 6
x - 6 + x = 6
2x =12
x = 6
2) x=3y+4
-3y = -x+4
y = -x/-3 +4/-3
y = 1/3x + -4/3
x = 3(1/3x + -4/3)
I am unsure about x on number two...
