It might be 9 if it's not 6 ...but I can't see how it wouldn't be 6?
Answer: 3x-5y=-9 is simplified to y=3/5x+9/5
x+2y=8 is simplified to y=-1/2x+4
SO you need to divide 24 by 3 to know how many times she lost points. This would be eight times. And you know it is seven points for each time so then you multiply 8 by 7 and your answer will be 56 points.
