A student sketched some art on an 8 inch x 10 inch piece of paper. She wants to resize it to fit an 4 inch x 6 inch frame (as shown below). What percent of the original sketch was still able to be included in the frame?

A: 18/15b : 7 - -8 = 15 , 12 - -6 = 18 the y variable always goes over the x variables, c : same thing a

Solution: x2+4x=276x=27,x=9/2answer: no

Ok here we go ..there are plenty of ways to solve such math problems but we will go for the smartest and easiest ..5x+2y=7  -2x+6y=9we rearrange them into the following ..by multiplying the 1st equation by 2 it becomes 10x + 4y = 14we rearrange it and so it becomes 10x = 14 - 4yas for the second equation we multiply it by 5 and rearrange it so it becomes as to the following ..-10x + 30y = 45rearranging so 10x = 30y -45now 10x equals both 14 - 4y and 30y -45so   14 - 4y = 30y -4531 = 26yy= 31/26 = 1.19 or around 1.2so by now we can calculate x easily as  -2x+6y=9so 2x = 6y -9 = 6 * 31/26 - 9 = -1.84  then x = - 0.92 or around -0.9best luck!
