4x + 5y = 7 and 8x + 5y = 9 *
Elimination

Solve equation [2] for the variable y

[2] y = 8x + 7

// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]

[1] 4x - 5•(8x+7) = -9

[1] -36x = 26

// Solve equation [1] for the variable x

[1] 36x = - 26

[1] x = - 13/18

// By now we know this much :

x = -13/18

y = 8x+7

// Use the x value to solve for y

y = 8(-13/18)+7 = 11/9

Solution :

{x,y} = {-13/18,11/9}

step-by-step explanation:

26 is 33.33% of 78

step-by-step explanation:

26 is what percent of 78?

26 is p% of 78

equation: y = p% * x

solving our equation for p

p% = y/x

p% = 26/78

p = 0.3333

convert decimal to percent:

p% = 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
