The answer: x=857 and y=-401

Set up the two equations

X+2y=55
2x+y=1313

Solve the system of equations by elimination

2x+y=1313
-2x-4y=-110

Add each of the corresponding terms together

-3y=1203

Divide by -3

Y=-401

Plug y back into one of the original equations

X+2(-401)=55
X-802=55
X=857

A .E is 7 inches for the left arm
E is 8 1/2 inches for the left foot
the inputs look like the length of the arm (ie x) the outputs are the length of the foot 
<span>rate of change=<span>change in y change in x</span></span> use the data you gathered or this equation they give you  = 0.860 •  + 3.302


B. find the difference in y, then the difference in x, then divide (y over x) to get the slope
8-7/7 1/2-6 1/2 = 1/1 =1

C.you plug in any (x,y) point you used to find the slope
Solve for B
y = mx+b y = 1*x + b 7.5 = 1*8 + b b =
7.5 - 8 = -0.5
<span>y = x - 0.5</span>

Chris earns four times Vesna's wage v and Vesna earns $17 more than Dawn. How many dollars does Chris earn if their combined wag
guajiro [1.7K]
Call Dawn's wage x, we will have Vesna's wage = x + 17 and Chris' wage = 4x(x + 17). So we have the equation:
x  + (x  + 17) + 4 \times (x + 17) = 163 \\ 2x + 17 + 4x + 68 = 163 \\ 6x = 78 \\ x = 13
Therefore, Chris's wage:
4 \times (13 + 17) = 120

Answer:

X=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the 2. So, it would be 2x-6+21=-3. Then, bring the -6 and 21 to the right side. It would now be 2x= -18. X would be equal to -9.
