I am not sure but I think it is d.
Answer:
x = - 2
y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The best way to do this is to put - 3x in for y in the second equation.
4x - 2(-3x) = - 20 Watch the signs. You have 2 minus signs.
4x - - 6x = -20 Change - - 6x to 6x
4x + 6x = - 20 Add
10x = - 20 Divide by 10
x = -20/10
x = - 2
============================
Find y
y = - 3x
y = -3 * -2
y = 6
Answer:
B) 36/(y+4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the process of elimination.
A cannot work because we are changing the operation. Instead of dividing thirty-six by the sum of four and a number, we are dividing thirty-six by four, then adding the unknown number. This is not the same as the original expression, so we know it is not this.
Next, check C. C doesn't seem right either. Remember that, unlike multiplication and addition, you cannot flip the order in which the operation is being done and still get the same answer. C says four plus a number divided by thirty-six, which is entirely different from our original expression. So the answer is not C.
And finally, check D. D doesn't work either. With D, we are dividing thirty-six by a number, then adding it to thirty-six divided by four. This is not the same as our original expression, so D isn't it.
That leaves us with B. Does it work? Yes, because changing the y and the four still will give the same thing. And yes, because 36 is being divided by the sum of that number and four. So it is our answer.

Step-by-step explanation:
8 can be factored from each of the terms of the sum. (It's the distributive property.)
8·0 + 8·1 + 8·2 + ... + 8·26 + 8·27
= 8·(0 +1 +2 + ... +26 +27)
