Answer:

x = -3, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y = -5

x = -5 + y

Let's put this into the other equation

(-5 + y) + y = -1

-5 + 2y = -1

2y = 4

y = 2

Now we can solve for x by plugging y into either equation

x + (2) = -1

x = -3

Answer:

  (x, y) = (-3, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations are recognizable as expressing the sum and difference of the two variables. Such a set of equations is easily solved by the "elimination" method.

__

<h3>eliminate y</h3>

The y-variables have opposite coefficients in the two equations, so that variable can be eliminated by adding the two equations:

  (x -y) +(x +y) = (-5) +(-1)

  2x = -6 . . . . . . . simplify

  x = -3 . . . . . . divide by 2

<h3>eliminate x</h3>

The x-variables have the same coefficient in the two equations, so that variable can be eliminated by subtracting one equation from the other. We choose to subtract the first equation so the result has a positive coefficient for y.

  (x +y) -(x -y) = (-1) -(-5)

  2y = 4 . . . . . . . simplify

  y = 2 . . . . . . divide by 2

The solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (-3, 2).

Choose the inequality that could be used to solve the following problem.
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Correct choice is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be unknown number.

Three times a number x is 3\cdot x=3x.

Three times a number is no less than negative six means that the number 3x can be equal to -6, can be greater than -6, but cannot be less than -6.

Thus,  the inequality that could be used to solve the  problem is

3x\ge -6.
