8/10 or 4/5 is what makes up the remaining oceans
You want to isolate the variable 'y'.

Subtract 10 to both sides:

Divide -3 to both sides:
Answer:
x = -2
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
from above equation we get ,
=》y = 3x + 9
now ,
by second equation,
=》2x + 3y = 5
=》2x + 3 × ( 3x + 9 ) = 5
( since, y = 3x + 9 , by equation 1 )
=》2x + 9x + 27 = 5
=》11x = -22
=》x = -2
putting value of x in equation 1 ;
=》 y = 3x + 9
=》 y = 3 × ( -2 ) + 9
=》 y = -6 + 9
=》 y = 3
Answer:
3.657 and 7.657 to the nearest thousandth.
Step-by-step explanation:
x - y = 4
x^2 + y^2 = 72
From equation 1
x = y + 4 so
(y + 4)^2 + y^2 = 72
y^2 + 8y + 16 + y^2 - 72 = 0
2y^2 + 8y - 56 = 0
y^2 + 4y - 28 = 0
y = 3.657.
so x = 7.657.
