Expand

x = 150 - 0.5x

Add 0.5x to both sides

x + 0.5x = 150

Simplify x + 0.5x to 1.5x

1.5x = 150

Divide both sides by 1.5

x = 150/1.5

Simplify 150/1.5 to 100

x = 100

Answer:

$\boxed{x = 7~~and~~y = -3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = 26 (times 6) 30x + 18y = 156

6x + 7y = 21 (times 5) 30x + 35y = 105

30x + 18y = 156

30x + 35y = 105

-17y = 51

$y = \frac{51}{-17}$

y = -3

Substitute the value of y to one of equations

6x + 7y = 21

6x + 7(-3) = 21

6x - 21 = 21

6x = 21 + 21

6x = 42

$x = \frac{42}{6}$

x = 7

To write 81/450 as a percent have to remember that 1 equal 100% and that what you need to do is just to multiply the number by 100 and add at the end symbol % .

81/450 * 100 = 0.18 * 100 = 18% 
81/450 as a percent equals 18%
