2x+3y= -17
5x+2y= -4
You must cancel either the x or y out to solve so i'm going to cancel the x.
-5(2x+3y= -17)
2(5x+2y= -4)
This simplifies to:
-15x -15y=85
15x+4y= -8
The -15x and 15x cancel out leaving you:
-15y=85
4y= -8
You add them top numbers by the bottom and get:
-11y=77
Then divide by -11 to get y by its self.
y= -7
Now that you know what y is just plug it in to either original problem. I will use the second one.
5x + 2(-7) = -4
5x -14 = -4
5x = 10
x = 2
So the answer is (2,-7) or x=2 and y=-7
Answer:
I guess its 2/2.

Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright, so Steve has $50 in his pocket. He wants to rent a bike for the maximum amount of time possible with his money. It costs him $12 per hour to rent a bike.
To solve this problem use simple arithmetic:
($50/$12=4.16)
So Steve is able to rent the bike for 4.16 hours, but we aren't done yet. Steve cannot purchase 16% of an hour, he can only buy FULL hours, so with his $50 , the maximum amount of time he can buy is 4 hours!
Let me know if you need any further explanations :)
Answer:
y = 6x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- interceot form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Rearrange 2x + 12y = - 1 into this form
Subtract 2x from both sides
12y = - 2x - 1 ( divide all terms by 12 )
y = - 
x - 
← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = -
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= - 
= - 
= 6
Note the line passes through (0, 9) on the y- axis ⇒ c = 9
y = 6x + 9 ← equation of perpendicular line
