Technically, everything we know was made up by our own minds. We thought of it all. We decided that the color of the sky would be called "blue" and not "doorknob". Education is a continuous cycle that never stops progressing.
-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:
x=16
Step-by-step explanation:
40x+55=695
subtract 55 from each side
40x=640
divide 640 by 40
x=16
