Multiply 2x-2y=10 by 2,
4x-4y=20,
given:4x-5y=17
y=3
pluck it in
2x-6=10
move the 6 to the right
2x=16
divide
x=8
y=3
Answer:
Subtract 8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the equation, y has to be isolated (only y will be on one side of the equation)
To do this, we have to get rid of the 8.5, so it has to be subtracted from both sides.
So, the correct answer is subtract 8.5
A ) y = 2(3) + 7
y = 15
b ) y = 2(-3) + 7
y = 1
All in all you would get the answer x+y=1.
