Step-by-step explanation:

x= weight last year

2 1/3x = 21

Rearrange to get x by itself

x= 21 ÷ 2 1/3

x= 9

So she weighed 9 ounces

For this case we have the following system of equations:

$8x-9y = -122\\-8x-6y = -28$

To solve, we add both equations:

$8x-8x-9y-6y = -122-28\\-15y = -150\\y = \frac {-150} {- 15}\\y = 10$

We find the value of "x":

$8x = -122 + 9y\\x = \frac {-122 + 9y} {8}\\x = \frac {-122 + 9 (10)} {8}\\x = \frac {-122 + 90} {8}\\x = \frac {-32} {8}\\x = -4$

The solution is (-4,10)

7x - 9y = 23 find the value of y when x equals 11

Elanso [62]

Answer:

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 9y = 23

7(11) - 9y = 23

77 - 9y = 23 (subtract 77 from both sides)

-9y = -54 (divide both sides by -9)

y = 6
