Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Akira income and let y represent Hideo income.

Since Akira earns five-eighths of what Hideo earns, therefore Akira income is given by:

x = (5/8)y

Let a represent Akira expenses and let y represent Hideo expenses. Since Akira expenses is half of Hideo, hence:

a = (1/2)b; b = 2a

Given that Akira savings is 40% of his income, we have:

savings = income - expenses

40% of x = x - a

a = x - 0.4x

a = 0.6x

For Hideo:

Income = y, expenses = b = 2a

Savings = income - expenses

Savings = y - 2a

Savings = y - 2(0.6x) = y - 1.2x

Savings = y - 1.2(5/8)y

saving = y - 6y/8

savings = 2y/8 = 0.25y

Therefore Hideo saves 25% of his income

A line parallel to y = 2/3 x - 5 will have a slope of 2/3.

Graph the inequality x plus y is equal to or greater than -4
Setler [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y≥-4

consider x+y=-4

when x=0,y=-4

point is (0,-4)

when y=0,x=-4

point is (-4,0)

draw a line through (0,-4) and (-4,0)

put x=0,y=0

0+0≥-4

which is true.

Hence origin lies on the graph.

graph is on and right of the line.
