Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug (-1,5) into the equation y = 2x+7
5 = 2(-1)+7
5 = -2+7
5 = 5
The equation holds true, so (-1,5) is a solution to y = 2x+7
42 and 14
explanation:
x+y = 56
x = 3y
Substitute for x in the first equation:
x + y = 56
x = 3y
3y + y = 56
Combine like terms:
4y = 56
Divide both sides by 4:
y = 14
So if y = 14, and x = 3y, then x = 42.
Now substitute for both x and y in both of the original equations to prove they are the correct values.
x + y = 56
x = 42
y = 4
42 + 14 = 56
56 = 56
x = 3y
x = 42
y = 14
42 = 3*14
42 = 42
So the two numbers, x and y, are 42 and 14.
I believe the answer is C.
