Your answer is 10 for m<5
Answer:
b= -x+ y/17
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Subtract 17x from both sides of the equation in order to isolate b on one side.
y -17x= 17b
2. Divide every term by 17 in order to isolate b from any coefficients.
y/17 -17x/17 = 17b/17
3. Simplify
b= -x+y/17
2 red ping pongs - least likely
3 green ping pongs - possible
3 blue ping pongs - possible
1 yellow ping pong - not possible
(5, 3)
x y
Plug in:
x + y = 8
5 + 3 = 8
8 = 8
Plug in:
17(5) + 17(3) = 8
85 + 51 = 8
136 = 8
Answer - No, (5, 3) is not a solution to this system of equations.
