Answer: x = 1, y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
-9x+2y=-13
x= 13/9 + 2/9y
2x-9y=20
2(13/9+2/9y)-9y=20
<em>Substitute y with -2.</em>
<em />
x= 13/9+2/9(-2)
<em>After solving you'll see that 1 is a possible solution for x.</em>
<em />
Check your answer
-9x+2y=-13
-9x1+2(-2) = -13
2x-9y=20
2x1-9(-2) = 20
-13 = -13
20 = 20
Therefore, x=1 and y=-2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simple, what you're basically doing is simplifying,

well, you have 3x and you have

12/3=4
and you can "cancel" out an x, making your answer,

.
24/7 = 180/x....24 ft to 7 seconds = 180 ft to x seconds
cross multiply
(24)(x) = (180)(7)
24x = 1260
x = 1260/24
x = 52.5....so it will take 52.5 seconds
Answer:
Using the percentage difference formula you can find the percentage decrease.
SO its
100(new-old/new)
So we solve
10-6=4
4/10= 2/5
2/5*100=200/5
40
40 percent decrease
