8x + 7y = 39
4x - 14y = -68
(multiply each term in second equation by -2)
8x + 7y = 39
-8x + 28y = 136
(add both equations)
35y = 175
(divide both sides by 35)
y = 5
(substitute value of y in one of the equations)
8x + 7(5) = 39
8x + 35 = 39
8x = 4
x = 1/2
(x, y) = (1/2, 5)
Answer:
66.5
Step-by-step explanation:
38/2 = 19
114/6 = 19
19 x 3.5 = 66.5
600 * .34 = 204 are in 8th grade
204 * 1/4 = 51 51 8th graders walk to school
D
Answer:
x = -8
y = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2x - 22
y = x + 2
x + 2 = -2x - 22
x + 2x = -22 - 2
3x = -24
x = -24 : 3
x= -8
y = -8 + 2
y = -6
