Since you have y alone on one side of the equation......

Use substitution and plug in 1/2x-4 for y in the other equation.


3x+2(1/2x-4)=23\\

Distribute

3x+x-8=23

Combine like terms

4x-8=23

Add 8 to both sides

4x=31

Divide by 4

and x=31/4

Plug this value in for x

31/4*1/2-4=y

Simplify

31/8-4=y

Multiply everything by 8 and simplify

31-32=8y\\-1=8y

Divide.....

y=-1/8


Your answers are:

y=-1/8\\x=31/4

Dvinal [7]
The amount of energy that the given amount of food contains is the product of the given content per grams and the amount of food in grams. 

For this item, we assume that g(x) is the total energy that the howler monkey needs to obtain and x is the amount of food in grams. From the presented concept in the first paragraph,

amount of energy = (3.35 kcal/gram) x (amount of food)

natta225 [31]
Each bottle costs seven dollars. Two of them would cost $14 and three would cost $21. Buying three bottles, the amount is $21 which exceeds $16. Therefore, a $5 discount will be given. Subtracting $5 from the $21 will give $16. You have just enough amount to buy THREE bottles of olive oil.
