Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+y=2(x+3y)

plug in -2 for y: 4x+(-2)=2(x+3(-2))

solve: 4x-2=2x-12

subtract 2x from each side: 4x(-2x)-2=2x(-2x)-12

2x-2=-12

add 2 to each side: 2x-2(+2)=-12(+2)

2x=-10

divide both sides by 2: 2x(/2)=10(/2)

x=-5

Kitty [74]

Answer:
Mr. Miles’s statement is NOT reasonable

Explanation:
If Mr. Miles uses 2 1/10 pounds of clay for each model, Mr. Miles will have used a total of 6.3 pounds of clay.
The decimal form of 7 7/8 is 7.875, so 7.875 minus 6.3 will give you the amount of clay Mr. Miles has left over.

7.875 - 6.3 = 1.575

This means that Mr. Miles statement is not reasonable, as he only has about 1.6 pounds of clay left, not 3.
