EQUATION 1)    2x - 3y = -4
EQUATION 2)    7x + 9y =- 5

Multiply the whole first equation by 3 so that we could find the values of X first.

1)   3(2x - 3y = -4)

1)   6x-9y=-12
2)   7x+9y=-5

Add the 2 equations together.
13x=-17
x=-17/3  OR -5 2/3

2x-3y=-4

Plug the value of X into the equation.

2(-17/3) -3y=-4

-11 1/3 - 3y=-4

-3y=-4+11 1/3

-3y=22/3

y=-22/9 OR -2 4/9

~Hope I helped!~

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Mme Q spent more time answering emails from students by 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

Time spent by Mme Q in answering mails on Friday given by

5/6 Hour = 50 minutes and

7/12 Hour = 35 minutes

Total time spent on Friday = 85 Minutes or

5/6 + 7/12 = 17/12 Hours

Time spent by Mme F in answering mails on Friday given by

1/2 Hour = 30 minutes and

3/4 Hour = 45 minutes

Total time spent on Friday by Mme F = 75 Minutes or

Therefore, Mme Q spent more time answering emails from students by 85 - 75 = 10 minutes.
