Since there is no question I do not know what is being solved for, but if you’re wondering what the value of x and y equal here’s the explanation.
Set up both equations equal to each other > -2x-4 = 3x+3 Subtract 3 from both sides to get > -2x-7 =3x Subtract the -2x on both sides to get > -7 = 5x. Divide both sides by 5 and x = -1.40 or (-1 2/5)
In order to get y value take one of the equation and replace the x in the equation with the value of x you just solved for. y = -2(-1.4) - 4 multiply the number in the parenthesis and the -2 and you get > y = 2.8 - 4 subtract the two and y = 1.2
The correct answer is that she picked 16 green peppers. We can work this
out because 16 + 4 = 20, and 4 x 4 is 16, so therefore there were 16
green peppers and 4 red peppers.
