Then the solution to the system is

If you want to use G elimination and substitution, you'd stop at the step with the augmented matrix
![\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D%201%20%26%20-1%20%26%201%20%26%2020%20%5C%5C%200%20%26%201%20%26%20-1%20%26%20-11%20%5C%5C%200%20%26%200%20%26%201%20%26%208%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%20%5Cright%5D)
The third row tells us that
. Then in the second row,

and in the first row,

Answer:
x=5, y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
1) x+3y=14,4x+5y=35
2) x+3y=14
3) x=-3y+14
4) 4(-3y+14)+5y=35
5) -12y+56+5y=35
6) -7y+56=35
7) -7y=-21
8) y=3
9) x=-3\times 3+14
10) x=-9+14
11) x=5
finale and last : x=5,y=3 ✅
<h3>
Answer: A and B (first answer choice)</h3>
Explanation:
Both figures shown in A and B are triangular pyramids. The base is a triangle, and the lateral sides are also triangles. Another example would be rectangular pyramids where the base is a rectangle, and the lateral sides are triangles.
Choice C is ruled out because cones aren't considered pyramids.
Choice D is a combination of a rectangular prism, and a rectangular pyramid stacked on top, so it's not purely a pyramid only. We can rule out choice D.
