Subtract the second equation from the first.
.. (5x +2y) -(-x +2y) = (-4) -(8)
.. 6x = -12
.. x = -2

.. -(-2) +2y = 8
.. 2y = 6
.. y = 3

The solution is (x, y) = (-2, 3).

You are given that<br> 4a-2b = 10<br> (a)<br> Write down the value of<br> 2a - b
Simora [160]

Answer:

2a - b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

4a - 2b = 10

take out the highest common factor of the left side

2(2a - b) = 10

divide both sides by two

2a - b = 10/2

2a - b = 5

Your basketball team scored 4 fewer than twice as many points, x, as the other team. a. Write an expression for the number of po
velikii [3]

Answer:

A) p = 2x - 4  for the expression. B) Your team scored 44 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <u>P</u> represent the points your team made.

Since the question says "Your basketball team scored 4 fewer than twice as many points as the other team." this is how I came up with the expression.

p = 2x - 4 ( our points = 2 times more then the other teams points minus 4.

Using this expression and the given information that the other team made 24 points, I solved B.

44 = 2(24) - 4.
