-3x - y = -17
4x + 2y = 20
multiply one part of the equation so that we can be able to use the process of elimination.
(-3x - y = -17)2
4x + 2y = 20
Now we have:
-6x -2y = - 34
4x+2y= 20
------------------------
-2x = -14
Divide -2 on both sides.
-2x = -14
/-2 /-2
x = -7.
=============================================
To solve for y, we just have to substitute the value of x to any of the equation given above, that we feel comfortable with. And I'm going to choose this equation: 4x + 2y = 20
4x + 2y = 20
4(-7) + 2y = 20
-28 + 2y = 20
Add 28 on both sides
-28 + 2y = 20
+28 +28
---------------------
2y = 48
/2 /2
y = 24.
The last thing you would do is to check if the answers is correct.
All you have to do is plug in the values of x and y into both equations and see if they equal to one another.
You may have to do this by yourself :P

Answer:
1 inch
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the sides:
Perimeter = 3/23 + 9/23 + 11/23 = (3 + 9 + 11)/23 = 23/23 = 1

Answer:
D. 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is the x-coefficient when the equation is solved for y.
2x -5y = 9 . . . . . . . given
-5y = -2x +9 . . . . . .subtract 2x
y = (-2/-5)x +9/(-5) . . . . divide by -5
y = 2/5x -9/5
The coefficient of x is 2/5. That is the slope of the line.
The slope is 2/5.
Answer:
$14.10
Step-by-step explanation:
To have 30 bulbs, Maura can buy 10 packages of 3 at $5.37 each, for a total of $53.70. Or, she can buy 15 packages of 2 at $4.52 each, for a total of $67.80.
Buying in packages of 3, Maura saves $67.80 -53.70 = $14.10.
