3 0

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{225}{x} = \frac{75}{100}$

Since 225 is 75% of a whole, write the proportion such that 225 corresponds to 75% and x, the number we're searching for, corresponds with 100%

Cross multiply to solve and divide by 75 to isolate x:

225 x 100 = 75x

22500 = 75x

300 = x

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=8;\ y=1\to(8;\ 1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}y=x-7&(1)\\5+2y=7&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\\text{Substitute (1) to (2) and solve for x:}\\\\5+2(x-7)=7\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\5+(2)(x)+(2)(-7)=7\\\\5+2x-14=7\\\\2x+(5-14)=7\\\\2x-9=7\qquad\text{add 9 to both sides}\\\\2x-9+9=7+9\\\\2x=16\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{16}{2}\\\\\boxed{x=8}$
