Answer:
y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 5 because that sign around the -5 is the absolute value sign. What the absolute value sign does is it measures the distance from 0 the number is. Since the number -5 is 5 units away from the number 0, then y=5.
(1) You can see that the 6 is being added to both sides.
You are trying to make both sides equal by adding 6, so it would be the Addition Property of Equality.
(2) 4 is being divided into both sides.
It would be the Division Property of Inequality. (you are dividing by 4 to make both sides equal)
"B" is the answer.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
C, A, A
Step-by-step explanation:
In general, you ...
- identify the coefficients of one of the variables
- swap them, and negate one of them
- multiply the corresponding equations by the "adjusted" coefficients.

In problem 1, the x-coefficients are 8 and 2. A common factor of 2 can be removed so that we're dealing with the numbers 4 and 1. Assuming we want to multiply one of the equations by 1, leaving it unchanged, the value we want to multiply by will be -4. After we swap the coefficients, that multiplier is associated with equation 2:
multiply equation 2 by -4 . . . (eliminates x)
Likewise, the y-coefficients in problem 1 are -1 and 3. Again, if we want to multiply one of the equations by 1, leaving it unchanged, the coefficient we will change the sign of is -1 (becomes 1). After we swap the coefficients, the multiplier 3 is associated with equation 1:
multiply equation 1 by 3 . . . (eliminates y)
These two choices are B and A, respectively, so the one that does NOT work for problem 1 is choice C, as indicated below.

The other problems are worked in a similar fashion.
You should choose c because parallel lines have the same slope
