I would subtract the 2nd from the first one
so -4x - -2x = -2x
4y - 4y = 0
-20 - -2 = -18
-2x = -18
now I would divide that by -2 to get the value for x
so no we have x = 9
now you just have to substitute that into one of the equations and simplify to get y
-2 X 9 + 4y = -2
-18 + 4y = -2
4y =16
y = 4
Answer:
B. n-3
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is an even integer, the next consecutive even integer = x + 2
Since (n-5) is even, the next consecutive even integer = (n-5) + 2 = n-3
Answer:
34
explanation:
First of all, put the numbers in order
30, 31, 31, 32, 33, 35, 35, 35, 36, 36
Then, find the middle number.
In this case, there is an even amount of numbers so, we have to pick the 2 middle numbers which is 33 and 35.
Now all you have to do is add these two numbers together then divide by 2 which will give you 34.
or, in simpler questions like this one, you can just say 34 as you know it is between 33 and 35.
In other questions, it might have and odd amount of numbers, for example:
3, 3, 5, 8, 10
so all you would do here is pick the middle number which would be 5. (it has 2 numbers on each side of it)
A and B are both 5 units from it
