The answer is 40..........
Use order of operations for this
4x+17=23
Move the 17 to the 23
4x=23-17
Then move the 4 over leaving the x by itself
X=6/4
X=1.5
The equation is <span>y = -x + 2</span>
One possible system is
1x + 3y = 4
2x + 6y = 8
Note how 2 is twice as large as 1, 6 is twice as large as 3, and 8 is twice as large as 4.
In other words, the second equation is the result of multiplying both sides of the first equation by 2.
1x+3y = 4
2*(1x+3y) = 2*4
2x+6y = 8
Effectively the two equations in bold are the same which produces the same line. The two lines overlap perfectly to intersect infinitely many times. An intersection is a solution.
