First thing you should do is reduce coefficients.

1st equation has all multiples of '2'. Divide by 2
---> x +3y = -6

2nd equation has multiples of 5. Divide by 5.
---> x - y = 2

Now elimination part is easier.
Eliminate 'x' variable by subtracting 2nd equation from 1st.

x + 3y = -6
-(x - y = 2)
----------------------
4y = -8

Solve for 'y'
4y = -8

y = (-8)/4 = -2

Substitute value for 'y' back into 2nd equation:
x - (-2) = 2
x + 2 = 2
x = 0

Solution to system is:
x=0, y =-2

a. because to divide 6 1/4 and 3 you need to make the improper fraction a mixed number so the equation is 25/4 / 3/1 then you get the recipricol of 3 witch is 1/3 then you multiply 1/3 x 25/4 whitch is 25/12=2 1/12

456 divided by n=4.56

Arlecino [84]

To find this out, just divide 456, by the answer of 4.56
So once you divide that, you get 100.
So, n=100
CHECK:
456 divided by 100=4.56

Answer:

one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

3x − 7 = 4 + 6 + 4x

Combine like terms

3x-7=4x+10

Subtract 3x from each side

-7=x+10

Subtract 10 from each side

-17 =x

There is one solution
