The problem wants you to add both
We have to add the equations in a clever way such that one of the variables cancels out. If you multiply the top one with 3 and the bottom one with 2, you cancel x. Like this:
3(2x+3y)=3*6 => 6x + 9y = 18
2(-3x+5y)=2*10 => -6x + 10y = 20
9y + 10y = 38 => 19y = 38 => y=2
If y=2 then 2x + 6 = 6 => x=0
The pair (0,2) is a solution.
Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation: The reason is when the circle is empty, it means it isn't equal to and is either only less than or greater than, when the circle is full, it means it can be less than or equal to 5.
-42 decreased by 16 = -26
