Answer:

y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 5y = 8

Let x=-14

-2(-14) +5y = 8

28 +5y = 8

Subtract 28 from each side

28-28 +5y = 8-28

5y = -20

Divide by 5

5y/5 = -20/5

y = -4

Quin made three and four sevenths jugs of sweet tea. She sold two and one third jugs at her sweet tea stand. How much sweet tea

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: $\frac{23}{21}\ \text{Jugs of tea}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quin made three and four seventh jugs of sweet tea i.e. $3 \frac{4}{7}=\frac{3\times 7+4}{7}=\frac{25}{7}\ jugs$

She sold two and one-third jugs i.e. $2 \frac{1}{3}=\frac{2\times 3+1}{3}=\frac{7}{3}\ jugs$

Remaining tea= $\frac{25}{7}-\frac{7}{3}=\frac{24\times 3-7\times 7}{21}\\$

$=\frac{72-49}{21}=\frac{23}{21}\ \text{Jugs of tea}$
