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 )

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS???
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Cost of a pound of chocolate chips: $3.5

Cost of a pound of walnuts: $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

x - cost of a pound of chocolate chips

y - cost of a pound of walnuts

We create two equations based on the information we have:

3x+2y=13

8x+4y=33

The whole point of these problems os to get rid of x or y. In this question, we can do this by multiplying both sides of the first equation by 2, and then subtracting it from the second equation:

8x+4y=33

6x+4y=26

2x=7

x=3.5

Then we change x for 3.5 in the first equation:

3×3.5+2y=13

10.5+2y=13

2y=2.5

y=1.25

Hope this helps!
