An equvilent equation
remember you can do anything to an equation as long asyou do it to both sides
assuming yo have
x+y=1 and
x-3y=9
mulitply both by 2
2x+2y=2
2x-6y=18
those are equvilent
ok, solve initial
x+y=1
x-3y=9
multiply first equation by -1 and add to 2nd equation
-x-y=-1
<u>x-3y=9 +</u>
0x-4y=8
-4y=8
divide both sides by -4
y=-2
sub back
x+y=1
x-2=1
add 2
x=3
x=3
y=-2
(3,-2)
if we test it in other one
2x+2y=2
2(3)+2(-2)=2
6-4=2
2=2
yep
2x-6y=18
2(3)-6(-2)=18
6+12=18
18=18
yep
solution is (3,-2)
4x - 26 = 2x - 4....subtract 2x from both sides
4x - 2x - 26 = -4...add 26 to both sides
4x - 2x = -4 + 26...combine terms
2x = 22...divide both sides by 2
x = 22/2 = 11
OR
4x - 26 = 2x - 4.....subtract 4x from both sides
-26 = 2x - 4x - 4....add 4 to both sides
-26 + 4 = 2x - 4x...combine terms
-22 = -2x....divide both sides by -2
-22/-2 = x
11 = x
Answer:
-12.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the percent decrease, we:
- Find the difference between the new value and the original
- Divide the number by the original
- Multiply by 100 and the % symbol.
The population of the town originally had 25,000. 3,200 people moved away. This means that the new population is 21,800.
- 21,800-25,000=-3,200
- -3,200/25,000=-0.128
- -0.128(100)=-12.8%
The towns population decreased by 12.8%.

Her sister is 14
Step-by-step explanation:
34 ÷ 2 = 17 (average)
17 + 3 = <u>20</u>
