Answer:
A. choosing a sock from a drawer, putting it on, then picking another sock from the drawer
3x +2y= 11 ----1
x -2 = -4y ---- 2
Equation 2 times by 3
3x -6 = -12y
Subracting 2-1
3x-6=-12y
3x-11=-2y
Leaving
5=-10y
y= -1/2
Hence
B. is the solution
PS, If you rate this as "Brainiest" that would be most appreciated
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear equation in two variables can be described as a linear relationship between x and y, that is, two variables in which the value of one of them (usually y) depends on the value of the other one (usually x). In this case, x is the independent variable, and y depends on it, so y is called the dependent variable
Because greater means best, and you have to start with the best!
Just kidding, the real answer is that it makes it more simple to count up on the number line. If you start with the higher number, you don't have to count up as many places because you count up whatever the value of the smaller number is
