If we are supposed to give you like a life situation that matches the equation then I have one:
You have 42 watermelons and you need to divide them into equal groups. Let n equal the number of watermelons in each group. There are 6 groups in total. How many watermelons are in each group? (solve for n).
If this is not what you were looking for then my apologies.
The answer is F because you would have to multiply both 4 and 3 to get 12. Then you add both of the exponents for X to get 5. You wouldn't have to do anything for Y because you can't add it to anything.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First write the question as an equation
x+y = -5
2x+y = -2
From the given equations, we can create a third one.
x+y+2x+y = -7 or 3x+2y = -7
Use trial and error method for the possible values x and y
We know that at least one of these two have to be negative.
x can be 1, in which case y has to be 5.
Check this for
x+y ≠ -5
x can be -1
Try another one where x = -1 and y has to equal -2
Check this
X
x+y = -5
but,
2x+y ≠ -2
Another one,
Well the answer is A. 113-2tsqr 17t
