Answer:

(x, y ) = (- 2, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

7x - 2y = - 20 → (1)

9x + 4y = - 6 → (2)

multiply (1) by 2 making the coefficients of y equal and opposite

14x - 4y = - 40 → (3)

add (2) and (3) term by term

(9x + 14x ) + (4y - 4y ) = (- 6 - 40 )

23x = - 46 ( divide both sides by 23 )

x = - 2

substitute x = - 2 into either (1) or (2) for y

(2) - 18 + 4y = - 6 ( add 18 to both sides )

4y = 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 3

solution is (- 2, 3 )

The "20" under <em>n</em> means "When <em>n</em> is 20,". Therefor, on the other side of the table, 5n-2 would be 5(20)-2. 5*20=100, 100-2 is 98. The top missing value is 98.

For the other side, it's saying that 5n-2 is 38. You have to work backwards to get your answer. The opposite of -2 is 2, so 38 + 2 is 40. The opposite of *5 is /5, so 40/5 is 8. The bottom missing value is 8.

<h3>Solution:</h3>

$\frac{16}{x} = \frac{192}{156} \\ = > \frac{x}{16} = \frac{156}{192} \\ = > x = \frac{156}{192} \times 16 \\ = > x = \frac{156}{12} \\ = > x = 13$
