Answer:

x = 3, y = 1

(3,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Elimination is a method of solving systems where we add or subtract the two equations to "eliminate" one of the variables.

Take a look at our system. We have a -y and a +y. If we added those together, they would cancel!

-x- y=-4

-2x+y=-5 +

--------------

-3x + 0y = -9

It worked! No more y. Solve for x!

-3x = -9

x = 3

Plug x back in to get y.

-x - y = -4

-3 - y = -4

-y = -1

y = 1

A Math professor scores all tests with a maximum of 100 points. A student must have an average of 90 on six tests to receive an

nignag [31]

Answer:

No, he cannot

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say the student takes the maximum socre on his last test, so he gets 100. Now, his average on the six texts will be:

(75+85+90+95+94+100)/6 = 89.83

So, if taking 100 is not enough to get to the average of 90, this means he would need a score greater than 100, which is impossible as 100 is the maximum. So, the student CAN'T get an A
