How can I solve this following system of equation by substitution 3x-7y=4 and 2x+y=-3

To solve the system of equations, we first need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations. For this example, I'll isolate x from the second equation, because it will be much easier and I'll end up with simpler fractions.

2x + y = -3   Given
2x = -y - 3   Subtract y from both sides
x = -1/2y - 3/2

Now, we need to substitute x in the other equation for -1/2y - 3/2 so that we can find y.

3(-1/2y - 3/2) - 7y = 4   Substitute
-3/2y - 9/2 - 7y = 4   Multiply
-17/2y - 9/2 = 4   Collect like terms (wow, this is turning out to be a tough one, isn't it?)
-17/2y = 17/2
y = -1

Wow, such complicated work for such a simple answer. Anyway, now we can plug that into our answer for x to get x's value.

<span>x = -1/2y - 3/2   Given
</span>x = -1/2(-1) - 3/2   Substitute
x = 1/2 - 3/2   Multiply
x = -1   Subtract

Therefore, the solution for the system of equations is (-1,-1). It can be a bit intimidating with all the fractions, but the question decided to be nice and give us simple answers.

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

When  

P ( x ) = 2 x 3 – x 2 – 3 x + 7  is divided by  x + 2 ,we are dividing by  x −( − 2), so the remainder will be: P ( − 2 ) = 2 − 2 ) 3 –

PLSS HELP 20 POINTS!! Will mark branliest plssss
Sedbober [7]

Answer: the answer is 16

Step-by-step- explanation:

Since the two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third we can take the sum of two smallest sides and add them together to equal 92. Meaning the length of the longest side MUST BE 91 feet so the amount of the remaining rope would equal to 107-91 and that’s where we get 16
