If  you have a problem like: 
4x+2y=20
2x+2y=16
 You would subtract
4x-2y=20
-2x+2y=16
You would get the new problum
2x=4
You now want to divide the 2 on both sides to solve for x
x=2

Now that you've solved for X you want to solve for y. So use substitution to solve for y. You would want to substatute the x for the 2 in either of the problums. I'll use the first one.
4(2)+2y=20

You first want to multiply te 4(2) you would get a new problum.
8+2y=20

Now you want to subtract the 8 on both sides.
2y=12

The last step to solve for y is to divide the 2 on both sides.
Y=6

So your answers would be
x=2
y=6

pogonyaev

Answer:

The correct answer is: c. {-3, 0, 4, 11}

Step-by-step explanation:

A function consists of ordered pairs. In the ordered pairs, the first element is the input and second value is the output.

All the possible set of inputs for a function are called domain.

Given function is:

{(-3, 6), (0, 2), (4, 7), (11, 15)}

The domain set will consist of the first elements of all the ordered pairs.

The domain of this function is: {-3,0,4,11}

Hence,

The correct answer is: c. {-3, 0, 4, 11}

treat strawberry as x

add on proportions

1 1/8+ 3/4+ 1 3/4 + x = 4 1/2

(9+6+14)/8 + x = 9/2

29/8 +x = 9/2

x= 9/2 - 29/8

x= (36-29)/8

x=7/8
