3x + 5y = 1 . . . . . . . . (1)
7x + 4y = -13 . . . . . . .(2)
(1) x 7: 21x + 35y = 7 . . (3)
(2) x 3: 21x + 12y = -39 .(4)
(3) - (4) = 23y = 46
y = 46/23 = 2

Answer:
4 × ( 9 + 2z)
Step-by-step explanation:
36 + 8z = 4 × (9) + 4 × (2z) ; so here 4 is a common factor
= 4 × ( 9 + 2z)
we can also write it like this
36 + 8z = 2 × ( 18 + 4z)
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
consecutive even integers have a difference of 2 between them
for example 2, 4, 6 are 3 consecutive even integers
In general if we let the first integer be k then the next 2 integers are
k + 2 and k + 4
the sum of these equals 4 times the first integer, that is 4k, hence
k + k + 2 + k + 4 = 4k
3k + 6 = 4k ( subtract 3k from both sides )
6 = k
the 3 consecutive integers are
k = 6
k + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8
k + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10
that is 6, 8 and 10
note that sum = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24
and 4 × 6 = 24
confirming the sum of the 3 integers equals 4 times the first integer
