It would be the last option, (5, -4)
The answer is <span>2(–4y + 13) – 3y = –29
Step 1: Express </span><span>x from the second equation
Step 2: Substitute x into the first equation:
The system of equations is:
</span><span>2x – 3y = –29
x + 4y = 13
Step 1:
</span>The second equation is: x + 4y = 13
Rearrange it to get x: x = - 4y + 13
Step 2:
The first equation is: 2x – 3y = –29
The second equation is: x = - 4y + 13
Substitute x from the second equation into the first one:
2(-4y + 13) - 3y = -29
Therefore, the second choice is correct.
Half.
When you divide something by two, you halve its value.
So, first you would need to multiply 6 by $35.50, then take that number and add it to the $420 to get $633.00. Then you need to multiply $310.75 by 4. After take that $1243.00 and subtract $633.00 from it to get $610.00. So, the answer is: Broderick would need to add at least $610 to his account to cover his checks.
