Answer:
a. it has no solution
b. you can only substitute by making either the 'x' or 'y' the subject of either of the two equations.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 9y = -13.............. eqn 1
x - 3y = -7................... eqn 2
from eqn 2
x - 3y = -7, substitute by making 'x' the subject
x = -7 + 3y.................. eqn 3
put eqn 3 into eqn 1
3x - 9y = -13
3( -7 + 3y) - 9y = -13
-21 + 9y - 9y = -13
9y - 9y = -13 + 21
0 = 8, which is not possible.
Add the 5 amounts:
-10 + -23 = -33
-33 + 8 + 7 + 3 = -15 cents
now divide by the number of changes (5)
-15 / 5 = -3 cents
the mean change is -3 cents
If the total is 360 degrees then it will take 50 degrees each side. If the total is 180 degrees it would be 30 degrees each side
The answer is 25% if you subtract 55 by 30 you will get 25
