Start by laying out the 12.
The neighbors of 12 must be 11 and 10.
The neighbor of 11 must be 9, and the neighbor of 10 must be 8, and so on and so forth, until you get a unique arrangement.
Answer:
24.15

Answer:
11 games
Step-by-step explanation:
17+6=23
23/2=11.5
Victoria can play 11 games. You'd usually round up, but in this case you can't play half a game so she'll play 11 games and have one quarter leftover.
I won't answer them all for you (don't want to cheat - need to learn something).
But for the first one given:
<span>-2x-9y=-25
-4x-9y=-23
you set up either x or y (which ever one you want to eliminate) so that one of them cancels.
So this one is easy - you just have to multiply an entire row by negative (doesn't matter which one) - so that the y's will be + and -
Since they're both 9 and they're subracting NOW - you can eliminate the y value. Now add/subtract the x's. So it'd be -2 or 2 depending on how you eliminated y. Then add the number outside of the = sign. Now just solve for x. After that plug in whatever you got for x into both of the rows. Then find the y value.
Hopefully this wasn't confusing -- reply if it is and I will try to simplify. I can give you contact if you need help with the rest
Good luck!</span>
