The 2 equations are 
-2x + y = -17 ---1)
3x + y = 23 ---2)
we need to have the same coefficient for one of the variables.
Already y variable has the coefficient of 1 for both equations so we can use the equations  as it is. 
2) - 1) subtract 1) from 2)
3x-(-2x) + y -y = 23-(-17)
5x = 40
x = 8
substituting x = 8 in the 2nd equation 
3*8 + y = 23
24 + y = 23
y = -1

solution - (8,-1)

On a coordinate plane, a dashed straight line has a positive slope and goes through (negative 3, negative 7) and (0, 2). Everyth
crimeas [40]

The inequality described can be written as:

y < 3x + 2.

<h3>How to get the inequality?</h3>

First, we know that we have a dashed line, and the region to the left of that line is shaded, then we will have:

y < line.

The linear equation is of the form:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Remember that if a line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope is:

a = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Here we know that the line passes through (-3, -7) and (0, 2), so the slope is:

a = \frac{2 - (-7)}{0 - (-3)} = 9/3 = 3

And because the line passes through (0, 2), the y-intercept is 2, then the inequality is:

y < 3x + 2.

Schach [20]

Answer:

Option "D" is correct $3630

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning of the 7th year, the money has been in the account for 6 years.

The simple interest on $3000 at 3.5% for 6 years is I = prt:

(3000) = (.035) = (6) = 360

he amount in the account at the <u>beginning of the 7th year</u> is then the <u>original amount plus</u> the interest <u>$3630.</u>
