Hello!
Okay, so first we need to add like terms... so first, add the terms with the same variables. That gives us:
9x + 7y + 4 + y
Now add 7y and y
That gives us:
9x + 8y + 4
This can't be added anymore... this is as far as we can go because they are no longer like terms.
X=5 because you plug in the y into the equation y-x=17
All the choices are in the slope-intercept form where,
y=mx+b
so, the number before the x is the slope. The given slope is -34. We just have to look for the -34 number before the x. So mong the choices, it is the letter a choice that has the slope -34. So the answer is A.
Answer:
36
