a = -3

What is the result of subtracting the second equation from the first?<br> -2x+y=0<br> - 7x + 3y = 2
artcher [175]

Answer:

5x - 2y = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 2x + y = 0 → (1)

- 7x + 3y = 2 → (2)

Subtracting (2) from (1) term by term

- 2x - (- 7x) + y - 3y = 0 - 2, that is

- 2x + 7x - 2y = - 2

5x - 2y = - 2

sammy [17]
<span>The Jonestown will be much colder compare to the Cooperville.
See how the solution goes:
At 1:00, the both share the same temperature
Let X = the temperature of both town

Jonestown
=> 1:00 = x
=> 2:00 = x – 10
=> 3:00 = x – 10 – 8
At 3:00, Jonestown dropped a total of 18 degrees

Cooperville
=> 1:00 = x
=> 2:00 = x – 6
=> 3:00 = x – 6 – 2
At 3:00, Cooperville dropped 8 degrees only.</span>
