If you're looking for the solution to the system of equations, here's how we solve using substitution
We know that y = x - 1, so we can plug that into the first equation giving
2x - 3(x-1) = -1
Now distribute the 3 giving 2x - 3x + 3 = -1. After combining like terms we get -x + 3 = -1. Now subtract 3 from both sides, -x = -4, and multiply both sides by -1 to make x positive. x = 4
Now we can plug that into the second equation to get y
y = x - 1, and we know that x = 4, so y = 4 - 1, y = 3. The solution is (4, 3)
The answer will be A. 471/11. Hope it help!
1. 79% Take 100 x 21%=21, then subtract 21 from 100 = 79
2. $138 Take 1200 x 11.5%= $138
First you will have to use the equation length*width*height. The just plug in 4 for the height, then since the length is 4 times longer plug in 4x, and the width would just be x. SO your equation would be 4*4x*x=6400 ft^3. Then foil it out to get 16x^2=6400, then square root 6400 which will give you80, then divide by 16 so x=5 feet^3. That is your width but you length is 4 times that amount. So for length just do 4(5)=20 feet^3
So assuming that the book is 100% the student has read 45% of the book so far in a time of 37 minutes so if you divide 45 by 37 you get 1 minute and 22 seconds per 1% of the assignment
If you multiply this by 100% you get 122 minutes for the total assignment
