1 answer:

8 0

-5x + y = -5.....multiply by -2
-4x + 2y = 2
---------------
10x - 2y = 10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-4x + 2y = 2
-----------------add
6x = 12
x = 12/6
x = 2

-5x + y = -5
-5(2) + y = -5
-10 + y = -5
y = -5 + 10
y = 5

solution is (2,5)

Nina is 10 years younger than Deepak. Deepak is 3 times as old an Nina. Which system of equations can be used to find d, Deepak’

nevsk [136]

The answer would be the first choice which is d = n + 10, d = 3n. Deepak is 10 years older than Nina, so knowing this, the equation cancels out B and D. And Deepak is 3 times Nina's age, not Nina's age is three times Deepak's. It is not the other way around.
