Answer:
y = -2x + 7 and y = x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = 7
y = -2x +7
x - y = 2
-y = -x +2
y = x - 2

Answer:
,
,
and 
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, x represents the number of hours Zoe spent running on her wheel and y represents the number of hours spent scratching her cage.
Julie was awoke for at least an hour running on her exercise wheel and scratching the of her cage.
⇒ 
She ran on her wheel at least twice as long as she scratched at the corners of her cage.
⇒ 
Also, She spent more than 1/4 hour running on her wheel.
⇒ 
And, we know that number of hours can not be negative.
⇒
Therefore, the complete system of inequality which shows the given situation is,
,
and
, 
Note: the feasible region ( covered by the given system) is shown in the below graph.
Multiply the first equation by -2. It turns into 4x+18y=50 and the other one stays -4x-9y=-23. Then you "eliminate" the equations by "adding" them. Set it up like this:
4x+18y=50
+
-4x-9y=-23
4x-4x= 0. 18y-9y= 9y and 50-23= 27
SO: 9y= 27 and y= 3
And then you plug that in to one equation: 4x +18(3)= 50. 4x= 50-(18*3)
4x= -4, so x=-1.
Plug it back in to check!
Hope this helps. Happy solving! :)
