Just "plug n chug" as my teacher would say. In other words, replace the letters with the values.
Choice A is (7,19) which means x = 7 and y = 19. Let's replace the x and y value with these numbers in both equations. If we get a true equation, then we found the answer.
2x-y = -5
2*7-19 = -5
14-19 = -5
-5 = -5 ... true
So that works. Let's try the other equation
x+3y = 22
7+3*19 = 22
7+57 = 22
64 = 22 ... false
So choice A is NOT the answer because of this. Let's try out choice B
2x-y = -5
2*4-9 = -5
-1 = -5 ... false
so B doesn't work either. How about C?
2x-y = -5
2*8-21 = -5
-5 = -5 ... that works
x+3y = 22
8+3*21 = 22
71 = 22 ... but this is false
So D has to be the answer. Let's check to confirm or not
2x-y = -5
2*1-7 = -5
-5 = -5 ... true
x+3y = 22
1+3*7 = 22
22 = 22 ... true
BOTH equations are true at the same time so (1,7) is definitely the final answer
R + c=24
r=3c
3c+c=24
x=6
So there are 18 rock CDs
The answer is C
Here is the process, hope it helps!
y+2=-3/2(x-2)
y+2=-3/2x+3
y=-3/2x+1
The answer would be -7.
7 - (-4) - 18 (Simplify 3 * (-6) to -18)
7 + 4 - 18 ( Simplify brackets )
-7 (Simplify).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x +2 = 3x - 52
-2x -2x
2 = x -52
+52 +52
50 = x
