Answer:
2 because if x=0 y=1 and 2 is closest so a and b
x - y = - 11 .............( 1 )
y + 7 = - 2x ...............( 2 )
from equation ( 1 )
x - y = - 11
x = -11 + y ...........( 3)
putting x in equation ( 2 )
y + 7 = - 2 x
y + 7 = -2 ( -11 + y ) y + 7 = 22 - 2 y y + 2 y =22 - 7
3 y = 15 y = 15 / 3
putting value of y in equation 3
x = -11+ ( 13 /5 ) x = -33 /3 + 15 / 3 ( l.c.m)
x = -17 / 5
check
x = -11 + y
- 17 / 5 = -11 + 13 / 5
-17 /5 = -17 / 5
We will round both numbers:-
9.1 = 9
11.8 = 12
Now we will multiply these 2 numbers to get our answer.
9 × 12 = 108
So, 9.1 ÷ 11.8 is ABOUT 108.

From 86 books to 150 books. An increase of 64 books.
(150 - 86) / 86 = 64 / 86 = 0.744 * 100% = 74.40% or 74% increase
150 / 86 = 1.744 * 100% = 174.40%
86 is the basis. It is 100%
If the problem asks for the value of the percentage increase and the rate is given 74.4% of 86. Then 86 * 74.4% = 64. You just add 64 to 86 to get the new total of books which is 150.
