-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:
If he maintains the same rate he'll hit 180 home runs over the next three seasons.
Step-by-step explanation:
If he maintains the same rate of homeruns per season as he did in 1987 the number of home runs he'll hit over the next three seasons is the rate from 1987 multiplied by 3. We have:
number of home runs = 3*rate
number of home runs = 3*60
number of home runs = 180
If he maintains the same rate he'll hit 180 home runs over the next three seasons.
