Answer:
(-4, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 4y
-4x - y = 17
Plug in 4y for x in the second equation:
-4(4y) - y = 17
Simplify. Remember to follow PEMDAS. Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.
First, multiply 4y with -4:
-4(4y) = -16y
-16y - y = 17
Simplify. Combine like terms:
-16y - y = 17
-17y = 17
Isolate the variable, y. Divide -17 from both sides:
(-17y)/-17 = (17)/-17
y = 17/-17
y = -1
Plug in -1 for y in the first equation:
x = 4y
x = 4(-1)
x = -4
x = -4, y = -1
Answer: (-4, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:
Well in general, we can represent subtraction as: 
"z" represents the difference, and it really just represents x with y taken away. So if we were to "give back" this y value, we should get "x".
This means that: 
So one way to check, is adding the value that's being subtracted (y value) and the difference (z value), this should get you the value that is being subtracted from (x value). If you don't get the original value that's being subtracted from (x-value) then you know the answer you got is wrong.
The reciprocal of 3/8 would be 8/3 (basically reversing the numbers).
When dividing fractions, you can just multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction instead of dividing by the second fraction.
3/4 ÷ 3/8
= 3/4 × 8/3
Simplifying gives us the final answer:
= 2
Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
A. Plz mark brainliest, I need points.
