Answer:
last option bottom right
x can be equal or greater than -2
65 % ------------------ 23.4 items
100 % ----------------- x items
65 : 100 = 23.4 : x
65 x = 100 * 23.4
65 x = 2340
x = 2340 : 65
x = 36
Answer: there were 36 items on the test.

Answer:
(3, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you want the solution to the system ...
The second equation gives a nice expression for x, so we can use that in the first equation.
2(y+2) -3y = 3 . . . . substitute for x in the first equation
2y +4 -3y = 3 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
-y = -1 . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 4
y = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by -1
x = 1 +2 = 3 . . . . . . substitute for y in the second equation
The solution is (x, y) = (3, 1).
