Answer:
(2) is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
if you multiply the given equation by 3 you get answer (2):
3(4x - 3y) = 3(12)
12x - 9y = 36
17/16 is the answer since 1/2 is equal to 8/16. 8+9 is 17
Answer:
you switch 8x and 4y by subtracting 8x to 4y + 16 and substracting 4y to 8x.
This gives you the equation -4y = -8x+16
Then you divide each side by -4
To give you your slope-intercept form which is y = 2x-4.
Let Bobs catch be x, then Jay's catch is 2x.
x + 2x = 27
3x = 27
x = 27/3 = 9
Therefore, Jay caught 2 x 9 = 18 fishes and Bob caught 9 fishes.
