4x - 5y = -12
-x + 5y = 18
Add the equations together:
4x + -x = 3x
-5y + 5y = 0
-12 + 18 = 6
So now you have:
3x = 6
Divide both sides by 3:
X = 2
Now you have the value of x, replace x with 2 in one of the equations and solve for y:
4(2) -5y = -12
8 -5y = -12
Subtract 8 from both sides:
-5y = -20
Divide both sides by -5:
Y = 4
The solution is x = 2 and y = 4 which is written as (2,4)
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The given expression is

We regroup the numerical parts to get;

Now let us simplify the negative numbers.

We now subtract 19 from 42 to get;

We can't simplify further
Hence the simplest form is:

All your doing here is 37-19 adding negative is the same has munising
So 37-19=18
So J is jelly beans and T is trail mix :)
so J= $3.50
T= $1.50
