Answer:
x=-20/7 or -2.857
Step-by-step explanation:
bring like terms together in each side of the = side
then work the out
The equation would be:
y = 3x + 15
1) Table: It is pretty easy to do so, just plug in 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. for x and solve for y
2) graph (find slope): slope would be 3 shells/day that has a y-intercept of 15
3) you already defined the variables
4) 3(5)+15 = 15+15 = 30 seashells
I hope this helps!
Steps
I’m using elimination so I’m trying to get rid of y
To do that I multiply the first equation by 2 and the second by -3. Then solve
4x + 6x = 12
15x + -6x = -12
—————————
19x + 0 = 0
Divid by 19 to get x to one side. 0/19 is 0 so
X= 0
Plug that into an equation so 0 + 3y = 6
Divid by 3 and y = 2
Answer x = 0 y = 2
