-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

Step-by-step explanation:
Proportion states that the two ratios or fractions are equal
Let x be the fluid ounces of milk does Monica use.
As per the statement:
Monica uses 3 tablespoons of milk in her custard recipe.
It is also given that:
The ratio of tablespoons to fluid ounces is 2 : 1.
by proportion definition we have;
by cross multiply we have;
3 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2 we have;
therefore, fluid ounces of milk does Monica use.”
