8x-6y=-96 add to this -4 times the second equation...
-8x-12y=-48
___________
-18y=-144
y=8, this makes 8x-6y=-96 become:
8x-48=-96
8x=-48
x=-6
so the solution to the system of equations is the point:
(-6,8)
I don't really know but I think that it's B
Remember PEMDAS - parentheses, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract
because multiply come before subtract, your first step would be 1/2 x 2 = 1
next, you subtract -> 15 - 1 = 14
14 is your answer
The population of the town in 10 years would be 29,937.
