2x+3y= -17
5x+2y= -4
You must cancel either the x or y out to solve so i'm going to cancel the x.
-5(2x+3y= -17)
2(5x+2y= -4)
This simplifies to:
-15x -15y=85
15x+4y= -8
The -15x and 15x cancel out leaving you:
-15y=85
4y= -8
You add them top numbers by the bottom and get:
-11y=77
Then divide by -11 to get y by its self.
y= -7
Now that you know what y is just plug it in to either original problem. I will use the second one.
5x + 2(-7) = -4
5x -14 = -4
5x = 10
x = 2
So the answer is (2,-7) or x=2 and y=-7
Answer:
117 Girls
Step-by-step explanation:
If 64% of the kids are boys, then 36% are girls 64% + 36% = 100%
.36 x 325 = 117 girls
Proof
.64 x 325 = 208 boys
208 + 117 = 325
Answer:
Using PEMDAS, we would first divide 24/8=3. Then, since there is no multiplication or division left, we can finish up with adding and subtracting. So, 48+3-22=29.
So 29 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:
Hope this correct and Your welcome
Y = kx
when y= 12, x=3
12 = 3k
k = 12/3
k = 4
y = 4x
when x= 15
y = 4(15)
y = 60
