X=y+3
<span>-5x-4y=<span>30
-------------------
Substitute y + 3 for x in </span></span>-5x-4y=30
<span><span>-5<span>(y+3)-</span></span>4y</span>=<span>30
</span>-9y-15=<span>30
</span>----------------------------
Add 15 to each side
<span><span>-9y-15</span>+15</span>=<span>30+<span>15
-9y = 45
</span></span>-----------------------------------
Divide each side by -9
-9y ÷ -9 = 45 ÷ -9
y = -5
Now we solve for x
====================================================================
Substitute -5 for y in x = y + 3
x=-<span><span>5</span>+<span>3
</span></span>x = -2
----------------------
(-2,-5) is your answer
7/10. Because 0.7 equals 70% . As a fraction it would be 70/100. Simplify, and you get 7/10.
1) -2 -6
2) -2 -y
3) -2 -6 + -y
4) -2 -6 -y
Answer:The amount of paint that was sold altogether is 173.36 litres
Step-by-step explanation:
The total amount of paint that the paint shop stocks is 1800 litres.
24% of the paint is white. It means that the amount of white paint would be
24/100 × 1800 = 0.24 × 1800 = 432 litres.
The amount of the remaining paint other than white would be
1800 - 432 = 1368 litres
The shops sells 18% of the white paint. This means that the amount of white paint sold by the shop will be
18/100 × 432 = 0.18 × 432 = 77.6 litres.
The shops sells 7% of the rest of the paint.
This means that the amount of the rest paint sold by the shop will be
7/100 × 1368 = 0.07 × 1368 = 95.76 litres.
The amount of paint that was sold altogether would be
77.6 + 95.76 = 173.36 litres
