12x - 8y = -12
6x + 4y = -30
Multiply the 2nd equation by 2, to make the Y coefficients opposite:
6x + 4y = -30 x 2 = 12x + 8y = -60
Now add the two equations:
12x -8y = -12 + 12x +8y = -60
= 24x = -72
Divide bothe sides by 24 to solve for x:
x = -72/24
x = -3
Now replace x with -3 in the first equation to solve for y:
12(-3) - 8y = -12
-36 - 8y = -12
Add 36 to each side:
-8y = 24
Divide both sides by -8 to solve for y:
y = 24 / -8
y = -3
X = -3 and y = -3
(-3,-3)
The answer you will be dividing by is 4. hope this helps
4x - 3y = -2
3y = 4x + 2
y = 4/3 x + 2/3
Answer: y = 4/3 x + 2/3
It appears that you have here a list of the # of minutes spent each day on HW, and that y ou need to sum up this list to answer the question. Unfortunately I cannot read the last numeral.
The answer (assuming that my guess is correct) would be found as follows:
Total hours spent on HW in one week = (18+20+22+11+19+18+ ?? )
