Probe every pair:
pair x y 7x - 5y
A. (-6,-14) -6 -14 7(-6) - 5(-14) = -42 + 70 = 28 => it is a solution
B. (7,9) 7 9 7(7) - 5(9) = 49 - 45 = 4 => not a solution
C. (4,10) 4 10 7(4) - 5(10) = 28 - 50 = - 22 => not a solution
C. (-1,-7) -1 -7 7(-1) - 5(-7) = -7 + 35 = 28 => it is a solution
Answer: option A. (-6,-14) and option D. (-1,-7)
Answer:
-1.0 and 1
Step-by-step explanation:
A fifty-fifty sugar-water solution would contain the same amount of water by weight as by sugar, that is, 0.5 lb water.
In other words, a solution that is made up of 0.5 lb sugar and 0.5 lb water is a 50% sugar concentration.
