Answer:
<em>x = -10, and y = -1</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 2y = -48
2x + 3y = -23
First equation times -2: -10x + 4y = 96
Second equation times 5: 10x + 15y = -115
Add the last two equations: 19y = -19
y = -1
Substitute 1 for y in the first original equation.
5x - 2y = -48
5x - 2(-1) = -48
5x + 2 = -48
5x = -50
x = -10
Solution: x = -10, and y = -1
14 go’s to 28 so there u go have a good time good luck
Answer:
4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To the power of negative one just means 1 divided by and 1 divided by 3/4 is just 4/3
The question lacks the total number of socks and belts altogether. Thsi value is necessary so that we can create another equation to solve the unknowns.
if assumed that a = b, the answer, a = b = 2.43 will not make sense since you cannot buy 43% of a pair of socks. Completely define the conditions so that the answer can be obtained.
by trial and error, 3 pair of socks and 2 belts would be a sensible answer
