23 + d = 71. ———————————————————-
X + y = 120000
0.15x - 0.10y = 5500
Multiply both sides of bottom by 100 to remove decimals
x + y = 120000
15x - 10y = 550000
Multiply both sides of top by 10
10x + 10y = 1200000
15x - 10y = 550000
Add the two
25x = 1750000
x = 70000
He paid $70,000 for the property that made a profit, and paid $50,000 for the property that lost value.
Lines y=-x+2 and y=3x+1 intersect the y=axis. If you plot them out on a graph using the equation y=mx+b, then they are parallel and are set on the y-axis.
Answer: 2 2/5 is 4/5 of 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can view that as what do we multiply 3 by to get 2 2/5 and call that value x
3x = 2 2/5
x = (2 2/5)/3
Let's turn 2 2/5 into an improper fraction... 2 2/5 = 12/5
So we have
x = (12/5)/3 = (12/5)(1/3) = 4/5
Thus 2 2/5 is 4/5 of 3
Verify: 3(4/5) = 12/5 = 2 2/5
