For elimination, you need to eliminate one of the variables by subtrating the two equations.
To do that, you need to multiply the equation 3x+y=17 by 2, which becomes 6x + 2y = 34.

Now you can subtract, but also multiply 6x+2y=34 by -1 so you can subtract:
4x + 2y = 20
-6x - 2y = -34
-----------------
-2x + 0 = -14
x = 7

Now that you know x=7, plug it back in to one of the original equations to solve for y.
4x + 2y = 20
4(7) + 2y = 20
28 + 2y = 20
2y = -8
y = -4

David works six more hours per week than Xavier. If Xavier works 32 hours a week, what is the total hours the two work in a
Finger [1]

We are required to find the total hours David and Xavier works in a week

The total hours David and Xavier works in a week is 70 hours

let

number of hours Xavier works = 32 hours

number of hours David works = (6 + 32) hours

= 38 hours

<em>Total number of hours David and Xavier works in a week = number of hours Xavier works + number of hours David works</em>

= 32 hours + 38 hours

= 70 hours

Therefore, the total hours David and Xavier works in a week is 70 hours

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

32+78+x=180

Step-by-step explanation:

All triangle angles add up to 180, so add 78 and 32 then subtract it from 180 to get x, which in another form is 32+78+x=180.
