We can automatically see that we are dealing with a percent decrease because we are going from a smaller to a bigger number. We need to first find what percent of 140the number 84 is. to do this we can set up the following equation:
140/84=100/x (this equation is basically saying if 140 is 100(%) what would 84 be?)
solving for x here gives us x = (84 X 100)/140 = 60, so 84 is 60 percent of 140 which means 140 decreased by 40 percent.
Let me know if I can clear anything else up.
Answer:
x = 4/3
y = 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
System of equations! This is set up really well to make the second equation equal x then substitute.
x - y = 1
x = 1 + y
and then our substitution:
2 (1+y) + y = 3
and solve:
2 + 2y + y = 3
3y + 2 = 3
3y = 1
y = 1/3
And now we can substitute that value into one of our equations:
x - (1/3) = 1
x = 4/3
Next we should check by substituting these values into both of our equations:
2 (4/3) + (1/3) = 3
9 / 3 does equal 3 !
(4/3) - (1/3) does equal 1 !
Therefore, x = 4/3 , and y = 1/3
Pretty sure it is A. Hopefully this helps and sorry if I am mistaken.
