-3x-5y=-7
4x+5y=14
You can cross out -5y and 5y because they add to 0.
-3x=-7
4x=14
Combine:
x=7
Plug 7 into x into either of the two equations to solve for y.
4(7)+5y=14
28+5y=14
5y=-14
y=-14/5 or -2.8

Answer:

20 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

First, there are 320 apples that need to be split up between the siblings. We are first working with percentages. The total amount will be 100 percent. James has 45% and his brother has 30%. 45% + 30% is 75%. We subtract that from 100% and get 25%. That means that Eden gets 25% of 320 apple's. That's 320 * .25 or 320 / 4. That is 80 apples for Eden. If she gives 75% of her 80 apples, that means she gives 60 apples away. 80*.75 = 60. Eden would then only have 20 apples left. 80-60=20.
