Answer:
x=-19
y=55
Step-by-step explanation:
y=-3x-2.
5x+2y=15
substitute y into 5x+2y =15
5x +2 (-3x-2) = 15
distribute
5x -6x-4 = 15
combine like terms
-x-4 =15
add 4 to each side
-x-4+4 = 15+4
-x=19
multiply by -1
x = -19
now lets find y
y= -3x-2
y = -3(-19) -2
y = 57-2
y =55
Step-by-step explanation:
X=y-5
Now,
4x-y=4
4(y-5)-y=4
4y-20-y=4
3y=24
Y=8
Substituting the value of y
8-5=x
X=3
Answer: There were 220 robberies in Springfield in 2010
Step-by-step explanation: If the robberies were reported to be down 20% and the new figure is 176, it simply means the figure 176 depicts 80% (or 0.8) of the figure from year 2010.
We shall take the figure in year 2010 as x, which is 100% (or 1.0) and year 2011 is 176 which is 80% (or 0.8). What we now have is;
176/x = 0.8
176/x = 4/5
By cross multiplication we now have;
(176 x 5)/4 = x
880/4 = x
220 = x
Therefore, there were 220 robberies in Springfield in 2010
