-3x - y = -17
4x + 2y = 20
multiply one part of the equation so that we can be able to use the process of elimination.
(-3x - y = -17)2
4x + 2y = 20
Now we have:
-6x -2y = - 34
4x+2y= 20
------------------------
-2x = -14
Divide -2 on both sides.
-2x = -14
/-2 /-2
x = -7.
=============================================
To solve for y, we just have to substitute the value of x to any of the equation given above, that we feel comfortable with. And I'm going to choose this equation: 4x + 2y = 20
4x + 2y = 20
4(-7) + 2y = 20
-28 + 2y = 20
Add 28 on both sides
-28 + 2y = 20
+28 +28
---------------------
2y = 48
/2 /2
y = 24.
The last thing you would do is to check if the answers is correct.
All you have to do is plug in the values of x and y into both equations and see if they equal to one another.
You may have to do this by yourself :P

Answer: for the on your own the equation is y=2x for the outputs on the other thing just add the numbers up
Step-by-step explanation:
The given ratio of powder to water is 3:2 based on weight for Kool-aide. It is also given that 120g of flavored powder is needed for a certain amount of Kool-aide.
Let us assume that the amount of water (by weight) required to maintain the given ratio of 3:2 be represented by the letter 
. Thus, from the given information we can conclude that:
Cross-multiplying we get:
grams.
Thus, the amount of water in grams in that Kool-aide is 80 grams.
