Answer:

x=-1, y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve these simultaneously using elimination

-4x-2y=14 ....(I)

-10x+7y=-25 ......(ii)

The first step is to ensure that the coefficients of one of the variables(x or y) are the same.

This is done by multiplying with an appropriate number.

Let's say we want to eliminate y in the equations above,

Multiply equation (I) all through by 7 to get:

-28x-14y=98

Multiply equation (II) all through by 2 to get:

-20x+14y=-50

-28x-14y=98

-20x+14y=-50

Since the coefficient of y are the same (14), we can now eliminate.

We add the two equations because 14 has different Signs.

-48x=48

x=-1

Substitute x=-1 in equation (I) to get y.

-4x-2y=14

-4(-1)-2y=14

4-2y=14

-2y=14-4

-2y=10

y=-5

Therefore x=-1, y=-5

It takes two apples to make an apple pie. If a chef bought nine apples, the last pie
defon

Hey!

-------------------------------------------------

If a chef bought 9 apples and each pie takes 2 apples then all we have to do is divide.

9 / 2 = 4.5

4 full pies can be made with 9 apples.

4 x 2 = 8 (apples were used to make 4 pies.)

9 - 8 = 1 (apple remaining)

If one pie needs 2 apples, subtract.

2 - 1 = 1 (pies the chef needs to make the last one)

-------------------------------------------------

Answer: The last pie would need 1 more apple.
