Answer:
-7x-3
<span> -14x + 11y = 23
+2(7x - 3y = 37)
----------------------
0 + 5y = 97
y = 97/5
y = 19.4
7x - 3(19.4) = 37
7x - 58.2 = 37
7x = 37 + 58.2
7x = 95.2
x = 95.2/7
x = 13.6
Check
-14(13.6) + 11(19.4) = 23
-190.4 + 213.4 = 23

Answer:
13.5 = 9.5 + x
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, the price of the baseball cap, which is $9.50, and a baseball, whose price is unknown (and therefore must be the variable), total $13.50. So, to set up the equation add the two prices and set them equal to the total, 9.5+x=13.5.
Then, using the subtraction property of equality subtract 9.5 from both sides. This means x=4, so the baseball cost 4 dollars.
