Answer:
B. 9
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume that ...
SU = ST +TU
133 = (9x-5) +(5x+12)
126 = 14x . . . . . subtract 7, collect terms
9 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 14
5x + 2y = 6
3x + y = 4....multiply by -2
-------------
5x + 2y = 6
-6x - 2y = -8 (result of multiplying by -2)
-------------add
-x = -2
x = 2
5x + 2y = 6
5(2) + 2y = 6
10 + 2y = 6
2y = 6 - 10
2y = -4
y = -4/2
y = -2 <=== here it is
Answer:
subtract 1 then divide 2
