Answer:
Rate of 18 miles an hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Eliminate x's by adding te 2 equations
add them
-2x+15y=24
<u>2x+9y=24 +</u>
0x+24y=48
24y=48
divide both sides by 24
y=2
sub back
2x+9y=24
2x+9(2)=24
2x+18=24
minus 18 both sides
2x=6
divide 2
x=3
x=3
y=2
(x,y)
(3,2)
Answer:
percentage change=25% .
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : $15.60 to $11.70 .
To find: What is the percent change .
Solution: We have given that $15.60 to $11.70 .
Change = final value - initial value .
Change = $15.60 - $11.70
=$3.9
percentage change = 
= 
= 
.
On dividing both number by 3
percentage change=
.
percentage change=
.
percentage change=25% .
Therefore, percentage change=25% .
Given parameters;
Let us solve this problem step by step;
Let us represent Simon's money by S
Kande's money by K
- Simon has more money than Kande
S > K
- if Simon gave Kande K20, they would have the same amount;
if Simon gives $20, his money will be S - 20 lesser;
When Kande receives $20, his money will increase to K + 20
S - 20 = K + 20 ------ (i)
- While if Kande gave Simon $22, Simon would then have twice as much as Kande;
if Kande gave Simon $22, his money will be K - 22
Simon's money, S + 22;
S + 22 = 2(K - 22) ------ (ii)
Now we have set up two equations, let us solve;
S - 20 = K + 20 ---- i
S + 22 = 2(K - 22) ; S + 22 = 2K - 44 ---- ii
So, S - 20 = K + 20
S + 22 = 2K - 44
subtract both equations;
-20 - 22 = (k -2k) + 64
-42 = -k + 64
k = 106
Using equation i, let us find S;
S - 20 = K + 20
S - 20 = 106 + 20
S = 106 + 20 + 20 = 146
Therefore, Kande has $106 and Simon has $146
