Answer:

x = -4, y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 12 + 2y = 12

=> 3y = 24

=> y = 8

x = 8 - 12

=> x = -4

Answer:

x = -4

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can substitute:

=> (y - 12) + 2y = 12

=> 3y - 12 = 12

=> 3y = 12 + 12

=> 3y = 24

=> y = 24/3

=> y = 8

Now we can substitute 8 in for y, in any of the equation given to find x:

=> x = (8) - 12

=> x = -4

Hope this helps!

Original:4 New:5 State whether the percent of change is an increase or decrease

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

increase

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage increase = new value (5) - original value (4) /original value (4) x 100

5-4 = 1

1/4 = .25

.25 x 100 - 25%

percentage decrease = original value -new l value / original value x 100

A factory produces bottled water at a rate of 2,000 cases per hour. They know that 1.14% of the cases must be rejected because a

IRINA_888 [86]

1.14 per 100 or 1.14:100 or $\frac{1.14}{100}$

$\frac{1.14}{100} = \frac{n}{2000}$

I will multiply the numerator by 20 because multiplying by 20 is how 100 became 2000
22.8 cases are rejected per hour.

Cindy multiple her age by 5, subtracted 12, and then divide by 3. The result was 16. How old is Cindy?

sergejj [24]

Let's give Cindy's age a variable.

Cindy's age = x

Cindy multiplies her age by 5

x(5)

Subtracted by 12

x(5) - 12

Divide by 3

(5x - 12)/3

The result was 16

(5x - 12)/3 = 16

Let's solve

Multiply both sides by 3

(5x - 12) = 48

Open brackets

5x - 12 = 48

Add 12 to both sides

5x = 60

Divide by 5 on both sides to isolate x

x = 12

Cindy is 12 years old.
