Multiply 65 by .4 and subtract that number from 65<span />
Answer:
1,080 Pennies
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is fairly simple, you just have to simplify it. You are starting at already half-full, so you can keep that 1/2 in mind. Then, she adds 360 pennies to get 5/6. If you convert 1/2 into 3/6, you can see that 360 pennies fills 2/6 of the piggy bank. So now you can solve two different ways. The first, you can take 360 and multiply it by 3 to get the amount that can fit in the piggy bank, because 2 * 3 = 6 and that would make it 6/6, or 1. The other way would be to divide 360 by 2 to get 1/6 of the piggy bank, or 180. Then you can multiply 180 by 6 to get the entire amount.

Answer:
(5, - 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x + 3y = - 2 → (1)
3x - y = 19 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term
9x - 3y = 57 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
(2x + 9x) + (3y - 3y) = (- 2 + 57), that is
11x = 55 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 5
Substitute x = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
2(5) + 3y = - 2
10 + 3y = - 2 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
3y = - 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = - 4
Solution is (5, - 4 )
Take 35 and divide it by 5.
35/5 = 7
