X is Brenda 
X - 4 is Max 

X + (X - 4) = 16 
2X -4 = 16 
2X = 20 
X = 10
This means that Max is 6 and Brenda is 10

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

how i figured this out was not by using the table, but you can use the table

i just asked myself what two numbers multiplied together has a product of -12, one number must me negative

the two numbers must also add up to -4, meaning the bigger number had to be negative

the only answer that worked was 2 and -6

Solve for x & y. 30x−42y=−6 and 5x−7y=−1

vladimir1956 [14]

Um.. Both of those equations are the exact same. Divide both sides of the first equation by 6. You get:

$\frac{30x - 42y}{6} = \frac{-6}{6} \\ 5x - 7y = -1$

That is the exact same as the second equation. This system has an infinite number of solutions. 5x - 7y = -1 is a line, so basically every point on that line is a solution to the system.

For example, $x = 0$ and $y = \frac{1}{7}$ would work, but so would $x = 1$ and $y = \frac{6}{7}$
