Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
This is a puzzling one! The answer is indeed -3/4 but I was unable to prove it using mathematics appropriate to the "middle school" level. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
(To prove it I generated the first few terms of its Laurent series, a Calculus topic. The first few terms are -(3/4) + (41/64x) + and as x approaches minus infinity the term with "x" in the denominator goes to zero, leaving the constant value -3/4 as the answer. )
Thank you,
MrB

A=3B
4.35A+5.40B=780.95
Substitute 3B into A for the second equation:
4.35(3B)+5.40B=780.90
13.05B+5.40B=780.90
18.45B=780.90
B=42.33
Plug into equation 1:
A=3B
A=3(42.33)
A=126.98
Hello!
In a Capitalist Economic System, the government is expected to guarantee the respect to private property, promulgate laws that defend economic freedom, and is an intermediary between the private sector and society. In this economic system, the government is reduced an doesn't intervene in the free market.
In a Socialist or Communist Economic System, the government redistributes goods and services, takes the means of production (private property) from their owners to put them in service of the working class, promulgate laws that limit economic freedom and heavily intervenes in the market and economy.
Have a nice day!
