Answer:
D. (-3, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equations have different coefficients for x and y, so will have one solution. The solutions offered are easily tested in either equation.
Using (x, y) = (-2, -3):
x = y -1 ⇒ -2 = -3 -1 . . . . False
Using (x, y) = (-3, -2):
x = y -1 ⇒ -3 = -2 -1 . . . .True
2x = 3y ⇒ 2(-3) = 3(-2) . . . . True
The solution is (-3, -2).

If you'd like to solve the set of equations, substitution for x works nicely.
2(y -1) = 3y
2y -2 = 3y . . eliminate parentheses
-2 = y . . . . . . subtract 2y
x = -2 -1 = -3
The solution is (x, y) = (-3, -2).
1500 people subscribed Sunday edition and 250 people subscribed only sunday edition.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, A survey of 2500 subscribers to a certain news paper revealed that 2250 people subscribe to the daily morning edition
And 1250 subscribe to both the daily and the sunday editions.
We have to find how many subscribe to the Sunday edition? how many subscribe to the Sunday edition only?
Let x denote the number who subscribe to the Sunday edition.
Then the addition rule with overlap tells us that
Those who subscribe daily edition + those who subscribe sunday edition - those who subscribe both daily and sunday edition = total subscribers in survey
2250 + x – 1250 = 2500
1000 + x = 2500
x = 1500
so, 1500 subscribe to the Sunday edition and 1500 – 1250 = 250 subscribe to the Sunday edition only.
Hence, 1500 people subscribed Sunday edition and 250 people subscribed only sunday edition.
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x/5 + 1 = 11
x/5 = 10
x = 50
Answer:
The distributive property allows you multiply a sum in parenthesis by multiplying each addend separately, then add the products.
Step-by-step explanation:
How to use the distributive law example.
2(x+4) = 16
To use the distributive law in this example multiply 3 by all terms in the parenthesis. Multiply 2 and x, then 2 and 4 to open the parenthesis.
2x+8=16
That is how you use the distributive law.
To continue solving, subtract 8 from both sides.
2x+8-8=16-8
2x=8
Divide 2 from both sides.
2x/2=8/2
x=4
Hope this helps!
If not, I am sorry.
