Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-x+4y=16
-x=16-4y
x=(16/-1)-(4y/-1)
x=-16+4y
Thats a reasonable price for a sweater.
This is simple simplifying. If you need an explanation dm me.
here is the answer
x=-5
We do like the following:
Set the first number is a and the second is b.
We have two equations: a+2xb=24, 2xa+b=21
And we have 2xa+4xb=48 or 2xa=48-4xb
So: 48-4xb+b=21 or -3xb=21-48=-27 and we got b=-27:(-3)=9 and a= 6
a=6 and b=9
