1 inch = 2.54 cm
100 cm * (1 inch)/(2.54 cm) = 39.37 inches
Penny is taller
3(3b+2)=-30 perform indicated multiplication on left side...
9b+6=-30 subtract 6 from both sides
9b=-36 divide both sides by 9
b=-4
--Percent means out of 100, so 20% = 20/100
The prob in other words is asking
-- $60 is 20% of what number?
'$60' -- ---> 60
'is' -- ---> =
20% -- ---> 20/100
'of' -- ---> * (multiply)
'what number' ---> x (variable)
Answer:
y = 6
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
rearrange the first equation in terms of x
x = (y - 2)/2
substiute x in the second equation
y = -5[(y-2)/2] +16
Now simpilify and solve for y
y = (-5y + 10)/2 +16
y = -5/2y + 5 + 16
y + 5/2y = 5 + 16
3.5y = 21
y = 6
Now substitue y in the first equation to solve for x
x = (6 - 2)/2
x = 2
