1) -3(5x+2y=-3)⇒ -15x-6y=9
                                             ⇒ -9x=27
     2(3x+3y=9)⇒ 6x+6y=18

2) -9x/-9=27/-9 ⇒ x=-3 

3) 3(-3)+3y=9⇒ -9+9+3y=9+9⇒ 3y/3=18/3⇒ y=6

Answer: (-3,6)

Reasoning:
Step 1) In order to eliminate, first I had to multiple the first equation by -3 and the second by 2 so that when combining the equations y would cancel each other out so that I could solve for x. <em>Note: There are many combinations as to how you could multiple the equations so that either the x or y would cancel out.
</em>
Step 2) Once y is eliminated, solve for x.

Step 3) Now plug x back into one of the original equations and solve for y. <em>Note: Plug x back into one of the original equations, not the equations that were changed by multiplication,</em>

Answer: b. histogram

Step-by-step explanation:

A histogram is a graphical summary of data previously summarized in a frequency distribution. It is an accurate representation of the distribution of numerical data, the height of each bar shows how many fall into each range(the frequency of each range). Data from a frequency distribution table can be easily summarised graphically on a histogram.

Maybe, 150-100=50 on each triangular side. 50*height(80)=4000 divided by 2=2000. 2000 *'s 2, since we have to count the other side. Now, we have 100 left. so top of rectangle,(48 ft) times what's left of height. 48*(80-64=16) 16=768. Which covers the width of the big column, (48) and leftover height. Next, we find out the 2 left columns, one on each side of rectangle. Find area of rectangle, (what's left) 100. 100*80=800. 800- area of rectangle. Area of rectangle= 3072. Almost lastly, 4000 plus 800= 4800, then, 4800-3072=1728. I believe that the correct answer for the area of the lawn is 1,728 feet.

Georgia lifts free weights. The bar weighs 25 pounds. She puts two 25-pound weights and two 10-pound weights on the bar. How muc
zubka84 [21]
First you will add 25+25=50-pounds 
Second you will add 10+10=20-pounds
Third you will add 50+20=70-pounds for all the weights
Fourth you will add the total pounds of all the weights and the weight of the bar 70+25=95
So, the answer would be 95-pounds.
Hope this helps! Have a good day!
