<u>Answer</u>:
x = 7, y = 2
<u>Explanation</u>:
equations given:
x + 7y = 21
x + 4y = 15
make "x" the subject:
x + 7y = 21
x = 21 - 7y .........equation 1
x + 4y = 15
x = 15 - 4y .......equation 2
Solving both the equations simultaneously:
15 - 4y = 21 - 7y
-4y + 7y = 21 - 15
3y = 6
y = 6 ÷ 3
y = 2
If y is 2
Then x = 21 -7y;
x = 21 - 7(2)
x = 21 - 14
x = 7
Answer:
I think it would be C but i don't think I'm 100% right.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
#3: x is approximately 0.37, -5.37, #4: x is approximately 4.19, -1.19
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve using the quadratic equation or by solving with the perfect square
= 
x is approximately 0.37, -5.37
Answer:
15, 17, 19
Step-by-step explanation:
x + x+2 + x+4 = 15 + (x+2 + x+4)
3x + 6 = 15 + 2x + 21
x = 15
x+2 = 17
x+4 = 19
To work out the decrease, do original amount - new amount and then take that answer and divide it by the original amount, and then multiply by 100.
So you would do:
36.24 - 30.80 = 5.44
5.44 ÷ 36.24 × 100 = 15% to the nearest percent.
