ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The first equation is

The second equation is

We want to eliminate y, so we multiply the first equation by



We now subtract equation (3) from (2)



Multiply both sides by



Substitute into the first equation to solve for x .

Multiply to obtain



Multiply both sides by 2.


The solution is

Answer: 3rd option (-2, -3)
Answer:
3:1 and 15:5
Step-by-step explanation:
Not too sure
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us consider the length of a line segment to be 'x'
Let the other line segment be 'y'
One line segment is 12 less than twice the length of other segment.
X = 2y - 12
The sum of both the lengths = 69cm
X + Y = 69
X = 69 - Y
Substitute the X value in the first equation
X = 2y - 12
69 - Y = 2Y - 12
- Y - 2Y = -12 -69
- 3Y = - 81
3Y = 81
Y = 81/3
Y = 27 CM
Length of One of the line segment is 27cm
The length of the other line segment 'x'
is
X= 2y - 12
X = 2(27) - 12
X = 54 - 12
X = 42cm
The length of the line segments are 42cm and 27cm.
Answer:
X = the number of songs downloaded by Nigel
Y = the number of songs downloaded by Rebecca
Rebecca downloaded four times as many songs as Nigel.
Y = 4X
