Y=6x (1)
y=5x-7 (2)
Substitute y into (2)
(6x)=5x-7 -- subtract 5x from both sides
x=-7
Sub x into 1
y=6(-7)
y=-42
x=-7
y=-42

Answer:
<h3>A. 1 hour</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
If one cleaning company's cost can be calculated by the expression 75 + 50x, where x is the amount of hours they spend cleaning and another cleaning company's cost can be calculated using the expression 50 + 75x, then to calculate how long each company will have to clean to cost the same amount, we will equate both expression of the company cost and solve for x as shown;
On equating:
75 + 50x, = 75x + 50
collect like terms'
50x-75x = 50-75
-25x = -25
divide both sides by -25
-25x/-25 = -25/-25
x = 1
hence the number of hours each company will have to clean to cost the same amount is 1 hour
