An equivalent equation has been written by multiplying the second equation by 2. 4x – 9y = 7 → 4x – 9y = 7 2(–2x + 3y = 4) → –4x
+ 6y = 8 What is the solution to the system? ((negative StartFraction 19 over 2 EndFraction, negative 5), –5) (–5, (negative 5, negative StartFraction 19 over 2 EndFraction)) ((negative StartFraction 15 over 2 EndFraction, negative StartFraction 11 over 3 EndFraction), ) ((negative StartFraction 19 over 10 EndFraction, StartFraction 1 over 15 EndFraction), )
Parliament's first direct tax on the American colonies, this act, like those passed in 1764, was enacted to raise money for Britain. It taxed newspapers, almanacs, pamphlets, broadsides, legal documents, dice, and playing cards.
