Answer: x=3 and y=−2
Step-by-step explanation:
x=−2y−1;4x−4y=20
Step: Solve x=−2y−1 for x:
Step: Substitute−2y−1 for x in 4x−4y=20:
4x−4y=20
4(−2y−1)−4y=20
−12y−4=20(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−12y−4+4=20+4(Add 4 to both sides)
−12y=24
−12y
−12
=
24
−12
(Divide both sides by -12)
y=−2
Step: Substitute−2 for y x=−2y−1:
x=−2y−1
x=(−2)(−2)−1
x=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Move constant over (5x=38+2), combine terms (5x=40), divide both sides by 5 (x=8)
The only reasonable answer I could think for this is "A.<span>The company's expense budget for 2009 was $189,785."
I believe this because since x is the years after 2009 then you wouldn't times that by the expense budget for that year or any year eliminating B and C. When finding the total expense budget for this you would have to take in account the budget from 2009 so that would lead it to add 189,758. Since we are talking about after 2009 then D would be eliminated since 2008 is before 2009.
I hope this helps! Good luck!</span><span>
