Answer:

x=4, y=11

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + 19

y = x + 7

Since both equations are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other

-2x + 19= x + 7

Add 2x to each side

-2x + 19+2x= x + 7+2x

19 = 3x+7

Subtract 7 from each side

19-7 = 3x+7-7

12 = 3x

Divide by 3

12/3 = 3x/3

4=x

Now find y

y=x+7

y = 4+7

y=11

Answer:

x = 4

y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + 19

y = x + 7

Put y as x + 7 in the first equation and solve for x.

x + 7 = -2x + 19

Add 2x and -7 on both sides.

x + 7 + 2x - 7 = -2x + 19 + 2x - 7

x + 2x = 19 - 7

Combine like terms.

3x = 12

Divide both sides by 3.

3x/3 = 12/3

x = 4

Put x as 4 in the second equation and solve for y.

y = 4 + 7

y = 11

Answer:

$\large\boxed{7.\ B.\ 8s^2+16s+1}\\\\\boxed{8.\ D.\ -15t^9u^{11}}\\\\\boxed{11.\ C.\ 3,\ -2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$7.\\(3s^2+7s+2)+(5s^2+9s-1)=3s^2+7s+2+5s^2+9s-1\\\\\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(3s^2+5s^2)+(7s+9s)+(2-1)\\\\=8s^2+16s+1$

$8.\\(-3t^2u^3)(5t^7u^8)=(-3\cdot5)(t^2t^7)(u^3u^8)\qquad\text{use}\ a^na^m=a^{n+m}\\\\=-15t^{2+7}u^{3+8}=-15t^9u^{11}$

$11.\\n-the\ number\\\\n^2=n+6\qquad\text{subtract}\ n\ \text{and}\ 6\ \text{from both sides}\\\\n^2-n-6=0\\\\n^2+2n-3n-6=0\\\\n(n+2)-3(n+2)=0\\\\(n+2)(n-3)=0\iff n+2=0\ \vee\ n-3=0\\\\n+2=0\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\n=-2\\\\n-3=0\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\n=3$
