y = -1/2x - 3 is the correct equation
Answer:
C. m+n/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor out the 3 in the numerator and apply the difference of squares, factor out the 6 in the denominator, and reduce where applicable. It'll all cone out to look like option C.
-2x + 6y = -34
-x + 3y = -17
x = 3y +17
Sub this into 1st eqn
5(3y + 17) + 2y = 21
15y + 85 + 2y =21
17y = -64
y = -3.7647 (to 5 sig. fig.)
y = -3.8 (to nearest tenth)
Sub y = -3.7647 into 2nd eqn
x = 3(-3.7647) +17
x = 5.7 (to nearest tenth)
