Answer:
x=2/9,y=26/9
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simultaneous equation
16x+5y=-2..(1)
4x-y=-2...(2)
From (2) make y the subject of formula
y=4x+2..(3)
Substitute (3) into (1)
16x+5(4x+2)=-2
16x+20x+10=-2
36x-10=-2
Add 10 to both sides
36x=8
Divide both sides by 36
x=8/36
Divide both denominator and numerator by 4
x=2/9
Substitute the value x into (3)
y=4(2/9)+2
y=8/9+2
Let the LCM be 9
y=8+18/9
y=26/9
Therefore x=2/9,y=26/9
C.........................
45 + 32 + 37 = 114
114÷3 = 38
4 total quizzes,
for a 40 average on 4 quizzes she needs 40*4 = 160 total points
for 3 quizzes she has 45 +32 +37 = 114 points
160-114 = 46, she needs at least a 46 on the 4th quiz
