Solve this equation: $45 - ($2.75/pen)x = $12. Simplifying, we get
$33 = ($2.75)x, so that
x = $33 / ($2.75) = 12.
Tim's buying 12 pens leaves him with $12.
Answer:
x = 4
y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 10y = -16
-x -4y = 4 <-- ( multiplied x+4y=-4 with -1 so the x's cancel)
6y = -12
y = -2
put -2 back in the equation to get x
x + 10y = -16
x -20 = -16
x = 4
