- <u>We </u><u>have </u><u>given </u><u>two </u><u>linear </u><u>equations </u><u>that</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>2x </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>3y </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>6</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>3y </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

- <u>We </u><u>have </u><u>to </u><u>find </u><u>the </u><u>value </u><u>of </u><u>x </u><u>and </u><u>y </u><u>by </u><u>elimination </u><u>method</u><u>. </u>



<u>Multiply </u><u>eq(</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>by </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>


<u>Subtract </u><u>eq(</u><u>1</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>from </u><u>eq(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>





<u>Now</u><u>, </u><u> </u><u>Subsitute</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>value </u><u>of </u><u>y </u><u>in </u><u>eq(</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>





Hence, The value of x and y is 2 and 10/3
Hey there hope this helps you out
I believe its D, 7.5% But check it with other sources because IM not 100% positive!
Because none of the points on the number line are above 0, we know that the points will be negative.
This eliminates the second and third choices, as they contain positive numbers.
The first point, A, is a number less than -0.5 or -1/2
The first choice matches A with -5/16, which is less than -0.5 or -1/2
Therefore, the fourth choice must be the correct answer.
