18 - 7x = -20.5
Subtract 18 from each side:
-7x = -38.5
Divide both sides by -7:
x = -38.5 / -7
x = -5.5 = 5 1/2
The answer is D.
The easy thing to do is eliminate x by subtraction
x + 7y = 24
- x - 9y = -24
-------------------
16y = 48
now solve for y and then substitute the value into either original equation to find x
Answer:
He lost 29 points
Step-by-step explanation:
He lost 29 points. He lost 5 points for each of the 8 questions so -5 x 8 = -40 points, then add 11 = -29
