<h3><u>The first number, x, is equal to 7.</u></h3><h3><u>The second number, y, is equal to 2.</u></h3>

x + 2y = 11

2x + y = 16

We can subtract 2y from both sides of the first equation to get a value for x.

x = 11 - 2y

Because we have a value for x, we can plug it into the second equation.

2(11 - 2y) + y = 16

Distributive property.

22 - 4y + y = 16

Combine like terms.

22 - 3y = 16

Subtract 22 from both sides.

-3y = -6

Divide both sides by -3.

y = 2

Now that we have a value for y, we can plug it into either equation to solve for x.

x + 2(2) = 11

x + 4 = 11

Subtract 4 from both sides.

x = 7

The percent decrease from 12 to 9 is equal to the percent decrease from 40 to what number
Zina [86]
(12 - 9) / 12 = (40 - x) / 40
3/12 = (40 - x) / 40
40(1/4) = 40 - x
10 = 40 - x
10 - 40 = -x
-30 = -x
30 = x <=== percent decrease from 40 to 30

Dawson's annual premium will be $2,462.40. This can be found by going across from "Male 40-44" over to "20-year coverage" which is $13.68. Since $13.68 is per $1000 of coverage, you would multiply it by 180 to get $2,462.40.

Rachel's checks I believe would have a deduction of $63.14.

This is the concept of application of the Pythagorean theorem. The resultant speed of the motorboat which is crossing the river that has a northward current of 5 m/s at a speed of 8 m/s will be given by:
c^2=a^2+b^2
c^2=8^2+5^2
c^2=64+25
c^2=89
c=sqrt89
c=9.4 m/s
