Question

Hey if you could help me with this it'd mean a lot I can't figure it out

Answer 1

Answer:

L = 12  S = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

L+S=17

3L+2S=46

Multiply the first equation by -2

-2L -2S = -34

Then add it to the second equation

-2L -2S = -34

3L+2S=46

------------------

L = 12

Now we can find S

L+S = 17

12 + S = 17

Subtract 12 from each side

S = 17-12

S = 5
