Answer:
20 = 6m or m = 20/6 = 10/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say Samantha has s marbles and Paul has m marbles.
We know that s = 20 and that Samantha has 6 times as many marbles as Paul. This means s = 6m.
Substitute 20 in for s:
20 = 6m
m = 20/6
Thus, the equation is m = 20/6.

The vector PQ is Q-P = (2, 1). The vector SR is R-S = (2, 2). One is not a multiple of the others, so the vectors are not parallel. In a parallelogram, these vectors would be identical. PQRS is
not a parallelogram.
Solve either equation for either variable. Since the second one has y on its own, the easiest choice is to solve that for y.
-5x + y = 13 ⇒ y = 5x + 13
Now substitute this into the other equation to eliminate y and rewrite it entirely in terms of x :
-3x + 3y = 3 ⇒ -3x + 3 (5x + 13) = 3
Simplify and solve for x :
-3x + 15x + 39 = 3
12x = -36
x = -3
Substitute this into either original equation to solve for y. Plugging x = -3 into the first equation would give
-3 (-3) + 3y = 3
9 + 3y = 3
3y = -6
y = -2
So the solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (-3, -2).

if you're wondering about the restriction of x ≠ -4, is due to that would make the fraction with a denominator of 0 and thus undefined.
