You should add -77 to 77 because it will cancel out.
The converted the percentage to a decimal the wrong way.
Move the decimal point 2 places to the left.
6.5% as a decimal is 0.065
525.05 x 0.065 = 34.13
X = 34.13
The rational bumber between -2 and 0 is -1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that x and y are proportional and the equation relating them is
y = rx ← r is the constant of proportionality
To find r use any ordered pair from the table
Using x = 9, y = 4.5 , then
4.5 = 9r ( divide both sides by 9 )
= r , that is
r =
5x + 2y = 7....multiply by -3
-2x + 6y = 9
----------------
-15x - 6y = -21 (result of multiplying by -3)
-2x + 6y = 9
---------------add
-17x = - 12
x = 12/17 or 0.7
5x + 2y = 7
5(12/17) + 2y = 7
60/17 + 2y = 7
2y = 7 - 60/17
2y = 119/17 - 60/17
2y = 59/17
y = 59/17 * 1/2
y = 59/34 or 1.7 when rounded <====
