It is 74 degrees because those two equations equal each other and you must cancel them out which equals x=15. plug 15 in to one of the equations and you have the answer.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given : 8%
To find the decimal value of the percentage number
Remove the percentage symbol with 100 in the denominator
gives

Now taking the numerator to the decimal place equal to the number of zeros in the denominator or simply divide denominator with numerator.
Gives = 
So, the decimal equivalent of the given value is 
Let's examine this, as x increases by 1, what happens to the y-value? The y-value decreases by 2, so the slope is -2. When x = 0, we have our y-intercept, -5. So we can fill in Slope form with the Slope and Y-intercept that the equation is:
y = -2x - 5
It is A. Because .8 is the same has saying .80, it is .80>.79, and 80 is greater than 79
