Answer: option C is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of linear equations is
10x + 7y = 12 - - - - - - - 1
8x + 7y = 18 - - - - - - - 2
Since the coefficient of y is the same in equation 1 and equation 2, we will eliminate y by subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes
10x - 8x + 7y - 7y = 12 - 18
2x = -6
x = - 6/2 = - 3
Substituting x = - 3 into equation 1, it becomes
10×-3 + 7y = 12
-30 + 7y = 12
Let the constants be on the right hand side and the term containing y be on the left hand side. It becomes
7y = 12 + 30
7y = 42
y = 42/7
y = 6
C) (−3, 6)
The answer is 250. Just divide top by bottom.
the answer to that question is 31.80
