x
=
−
2
,
y
=
−
4
Explanation:
Right now, you have:
4
x
−
y
=
−
4
5
x
+
2
y
=
−
18
To make this easier, you must get rid of one variable, in this case I will remove
y
, to do this you must make the y-values in both equations the same.
To do this, I will multiply the whole of
4
x
−
y
=
−
4
by 2 to give
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8
We now have:
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8
5
z
+
2
y
=
−
18
All we need to do now is
(
8
x
−
2
y
+
5
x
+
2
y
)
=
(
−
18
−
8
)
≡
13
x
=
−
26
.
Divide both sides by 13 to find
x
:
13
x
=
−
26
13
x
13
=
−
26
13
x
=
−
2
Now put your value for
x
into either equation:
4
(
−
2
)
−
y
=
−
4
−
8
−
y
=
−
4
y
=
−
8
+
4
y
=
−
4
x
=
−
2
;
y
=
−
4

Answer:
Hi!
The correct answer is d) 1 over 15 minus 1 over x equals x over 35.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the amount of time that Byron can fill a drying rack with dishes: 15 minutes.
We know the amount of time that Byron can fill a drying rack with dishes while Emmitt is taking dishes out of the drying rack: 35 minutes.
We don't know the amount of time that Emmitt can take dishes out of the drying rack: x minutes.
So, if Byron is filling the drying rack in 15 minutes and Emmitt is taking out the dishes at x minutes, it takes 35 minutes to fill the drying rack.
<em>// multiply by 105x both sides.</em>
<em>// simplifly</em>
<em> //substract 3x and add 105 in both sides</em>
<em>// solve</em>
<em>//</em> <em>divide by 4 in both sides</em>
<em>// solve</em>

It makes sense that Byron fills the rack faster than Emmitt empties the rack.
