Answer:

The number of people who owned computers last year was 1500.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is as follows:

  • The number of people who own computer in a small town is 2400.
  • This is 60% more than the number who owned computer last year.

Let <em>X</em> denote the number of people who owned computer last year.

And <em>Y</em> denote the number of people who owned computer this year.

Then:

Y = X × (100% + 60%)

2400=X\times 1.60\\\\X=\frac{2400}{1.60}\\\\X=1500

Thus, the number of people who owned computers last year was 1500.

Nitella [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

X-2y=5 ; 2x-4y=10

• x - 2y = 5 • 2x -4y = 10

-2y = -x+5 -4y= -2x +10

y1 = ½x - 5/2 y2 = ½x -5/2

• => y1 = y2

½x -5/2 = ½x -5/2
