(2) + (2)
=> 8x - 6y = -46 ———(3)
(1) + (3)
=> 5x + 6y + (8x - 6y) = 20 - 46
=> 13x + (6-6)y = -26
=> 13x + 0y = -26
=> 13x = -26
=> x = -26/13
=> x = -2
=> 5(-2) + 6y = 20
=> 6y = 20 + 10
=> 6y = 30
=> y = 5
x = -2, y = 5 => C
Answer:
B. 21
Step-by-step explanation:
The fractions are there to just make the problem seem complicated, but just rewrite it without the fractions.
"What is a common multiple for 7 and 3?"
In this problem it's easy, all you have to do is guess and check.
A: A doesn't work. 7 is not a factor of 18.
B: B works! Both 3 and 7 are factors of 21.
C: C doesn't work. 7 is not a factor of 3.
D: D doesn't work. Neither are a factor of 4.
They only leave us with one solution, B.
It is a rational number and it equals 0.5 or 1/2
Answer:
x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
