Answer: Undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

4y+x=12, 2x=24-8y

Isolate x by subtracting 4y

4y+x=12

x=12-4y

Plug the equation for x in to anywhere you see the variable x in the other equation

2(12-4y)=24-8y

Distribute 2

24-8y=24-8y

Get the variables on one side so add 8y (cancels out)

24=24

Can’t solve its undefined

I am Lyosha [343]

500 people took the survey.

12 out of 15 people is 80% of the population. 12/15 = 0.80
Thus, 80% of the population prefers eating in the restaurant.

If 400 represents the people who prefers eating in the restaurant; then, 400 is the 80% of the population. To get the total population or 100%, we must divide 400 by 0.80 or 80%

400 / 0.80 = 500 people.

Out of the 500 people, 400 selected eating in the restaurant while the remaining 20% of the population or 100 people selected cooking at home.
