2x - 3y = 7 and -3x + y = 7..multiply Equation 2 by THREE and add to Equation 1
-9x + 3y = 21...........................watch the y's disappear
-7x........ = 28
x = -4
substitute -4 instead of x in either of the ORIGINAL equations
2x - 3y = 7
2(-4) - 3y = 7
-8 -3y = 7..........add 8 to both sides
-3y = 15
y = -5
im not sure

Answer:
x = 9.818
x≈10
The number of banners that can be made are 10
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the knowledge of proportion to solve this.
First we need to convert yard to feet.
1 yard = 3 foot
4 1/2 yard = y
cross-multiply
y = 4 1/2 × 3
=9/2 × 3
y =
feet
This implies 4 1/2 yards =
feet
Let x be the numbers of banners needed to make from 4 1/2 yards of fabric.
1 3/8 feet = 1 banner
feets = x
cross multiply
1 3/8 × x =
=
cross-multiply
22x = 216
Divide both-side of the equation by 22
22x/22 = 216/22
x = 9.818
x≈10
The number of banners that can be made are 10
