I think it is asking for the answer, therefore it would be AB = 10.7
The answer is.....................................160000
Let's use the "elimination by addition/subtraction" method to solve this system for x and y.
<span> -8x=72-16y
4x=-92+16y <= Mult. all 3 terms by 2: 8x = - 184 + 32y
Now combine the following, column by column:
</span><span> -8x= 72-16y
</span>8x = - 184 + 32y
-----------------------
0 = -112 + 16y. Solving for y, 16y = 112, and y = 7.
Now subst. 7 for y in either of the original equations and calculate x:
<span>4x=-92+16(7) => 4x = -92 + 112 = 20. Then x = 5.
Solution is 5, -7 (or, better written) (5, - 7).</span>
The pizza pirate ate the whole pizza!
2(days) + 3(a few days) = 5
20 x 5 = 100%
Therefore, the whole pizza is gone. Don't worry, I'll buy a new one!
He was suppose to distribute the 2 to the -4 and make -8
It should have equaled: 3 + 4x - 8
The answer would be 4x-5
