Take the second equation and flip it around so the y on the left ends up on the right and the 4x on the right ends up on the left.  This makes all negatives positive and all positives negative.   -4x   + 12  = y 

Then add the first equation to the second equation 
4x   +12   = -7y
<u>-4x   + 12  </u>=<u> y </u>   this eliminates the x's
          <u>24</u> = -<u> 6y</u>            then divide by - 6
           - 6     - 6
         - 4    = y<u>

</u>So if you know that y = negative 4, you can substitute into either equation.  I pick the second one because I am a lazy person.  
  -y  + 12  = 4 x
-(-4) + 12 = 4 x     combine your numbers<u>
</u>   <u>  16     </u> = <u>4 x  </u>      then divide by 4<u>
</u>       4      =  x
So your solution is: x = 4 and y = -4 or this is also written (4, -4)

Does that work for you?

If 24 water bottles weigh 30 pounds, how much would a shipment of 150 water bottles weigh?
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

A shipment of 150 bottles will weigh 120 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

24 bottles of water weigh 30 pounds

Ratio of bottles to weight = 24 : 30

Number of bottles in shipment = 150

Weight of bottles = x

Ratio = x : 150

As the relation is proportional

24 : 30 :: x : 150

Product of mean = Product of extreme

30x = 24 * 150

30x = 3600

Dividing both sides by 30

\frac{30x}{30}=\frac{3600}{30}\\x= 120

Hence,

A shipment of 150 bottles will weigh 120 pounds.

Which statement is true about the equations –3x + 4y = 12 and x – y = 1?
Firlakuza [10]
-3x + 4y = 12
x - y = 1....x = y + 1

-3(y + 1) + 4y = 12
-3y - 3 + 4y = 12
-3y + 4y = 12 + 3
y = 15

x - y = 1
x - 15 = 1
x = 1 + 15
x = 16

one solution (16,15)
