Answer:

Erin has 7 pens and James as 28 pens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let e = the number of Erin's pens

Let j = the number of James' pens

e + j = 35                          j = 4e

substitute in 4e for j in the first equation above.

e + j = 35

e + 4e = 35

5e = 35  Divide both sides by 5

e = 7  Plug 7 in for e in either equation above.

j = 4e

j = 4(7)

j = 28

2x-y=4 and y=-2x+8.<br><br> Can anyone help me solve
Komok [63]

Answer:

The correct answer is x = 3 and y = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways to solve systems of equations like this, but I'm going to use substitution.  This means taking the value of y given by the second equation and plugging it into the first equation.  This is modeled below:

2x - y = 4

2x - (-2x+8) = 4

Now, we can simplify the left side of the equation.

2x + 2x - 8 = 4

4x - 8 = 4

We should add 8 to both sides as the next step.

4x = 12

Now we can divide by 4.

x = 3

To solve for y, we can substitute this value found for x back into either one of our original equations.

y = -2x + 8

y = (-2*3) + 8

y = -6 + 8

y = 2

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 3 and y = 2.

Hope this helps!
