Answer:
C. 8x - 3y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
7 - 3(x - y) = 5x + 2
Standard form: Ax + By = C
7 -3x + 3y = 5x + 2
7 -8x + 3y = 2
-8x + 3y = -5
Divide by -1 to each number
8x - 3y = 5
The answer to your question would be 16
5.75a + 6.5c = 53.25
a + c = 9
c = 9 - a
5.75a + 58.5 - 6.5a = 53.25
5.25 = 0.75a
a = 7
7 + c = 9
c = 2
