Answer: d. (17, 20)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following system of equations:

x-3y=8 (1)

5x-4y=5 (2)

Isolating x from (1):

x=\frac{8+3y}{4} (3)

Substituting (3) in (2):

5(\frac{8+3y}{4})-4y=5 (4)

Isolating y:

\frac{40}{4}+\frac{15 y}{4}-4y=5 (5)

10-5=4y-\frac{15 y}{4} (6)

y=20 (7)

Substituting (7) in (1):

x-3(20)=8 (8)

Isolating x:

x=17 (9)

Hence, the correct option is d. (17, 20)

NISA [10]

Answer:

b + r = 10 - - (1)

2r + 3b = 23 - - (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Blue pens in box A = b

Number of red pens in box A = r

BOX A :

Contains 10 pens that are either red or blue

b + r = 10

BOX B:

Contains 23 pens that are either red or blue ;

Red pens in box B = 2 tines the number of red pens in box A

Blue pens in box B = 3 times the number of blue pens in box A

2r + 3b = 23
