Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

1. y = 35x

2. y = 30x + 1

3. y = 35x

y = 30 x + 1

4. Its more convenient to substitute y because It's easier.

35x = 30(x + 1)

5. 35x = 30x + 1

35x = 30x + 30

35x -30x = 30

5x = 30

x = 6 (30/5 = 6)

35 x 6 = 210 (y)

6. Both people have read 210 pages and it takes amir 6 days to catch up.

Would really appreciate the help!

Answers

percent means out of 100 so 1%=0.01

so we multiply each decimal with 100 and get the decimal

0.03 times 100=3%
0.3 times 100=30%
0.045 times 100=4.5%
0.49 times 100=49%
