-4x + 6y = 12
x + 2y = -10
First solve for x in the second equation
x + 2y = -10
x = -10 - 2y
Now we have a value for x so we can substitute it into the other equation
-4 (-10 - 2y) + 6y = 12
Now solve for y
40 + 8y + 6y = 12
40 + 14y = 12
14y = -28
y = -2
Now we have a value for y that we can plug into one of the original equations so we can solve for x
x + 2y = -10
x + 2(-2) = -10
x - 4 = -10
x = -6
Your solution set is
(-6, -2)
Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
50-6x=y
since each car wash is 6 dollars and you do not know the number of cars washed it is 6x
50-6x is because you need to find out how much is left in the card so you subtract the total from how much she spent
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of questions solved by Andy=x
this implies that 6+x=10
making x the subject of the equation
x=10-6
x=4
therefore Andy solved 4 questions
