Answer:

  A:  -2

Step-by-step explanation:

k = -2 for sure

I normally multiply 5x+10y=15 by -2 to cancel out the x's.

This is because you can only solve the problem if one of your variables is canceled out and then you solve!

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

28.8 and 180

Step-by-step explanation:

you just times B by 2/5 to get C and divide it by 2/5 to get A

C = (72)(2/5) = 28.8 km³

A = (72)/(2/5) = 180 km³

We know the answers make sense because A shrinks to get B and B shrinks to get C, and our answers match that.
