Answer:

B: (2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First isolate the y in both equations

2) Set the equations equal to each other

3) Solve for x (you should get 2 and 5)

4) Insert the x values back in to get your y values

5) You should have gotten (2, -1) and (5, 2)

These are your two answers, but the question is only asking for one solution and (5,2) isn't one of the options, so it has to be (2,-1).

Plz solve I’ve been stuck on how to start it and I just can’t

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

x and y = 0

the question looks weird and almost wrong because when you subtract the equations, you are left with nothing

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the top equation by 3 to make the -x a -3x instead.

Then do the top equation - the bottom equation

At this point you should be left with x

The denominator of a fraction is two more than the numerator. If both numerator and denominator are decreased by six, the simpli

Answer:

$\dfrac{40}{42}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator of the fraction=x

Since the denominator of a fraction is two more than the numerator.

Denominator=x+2

The fraction is therefore:

$\dfrac{x}{x+2}$

If both numerator and denominator are decreased by six, the fraction becomes:

$\dfrac{x-6}{x+2-6}$

The simplified result is $\dfrac{17}{18}$

Therefore:

$\dfrac{x-6}{x+2-6}=\dfrac{17}{18}\\$Next, we solve for x\\Cross multiply\\18(x-6)=17(x+2-6)\\18(x-6)=17(x-4)\\Expand the bracket\\18x-108=17x-68\\Collect like terms\\18x-17x=-68+108\\x=40$

Substituting x=40 into the initial fraction

$\dfrac{x}{x+2}=\dfrac{40}{40+2}=\dfrac{40}{42}$

Therefore, the original fraction is $\dfrac{40}{42}$
