Answer:

-3 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1st number

y = 2nd number

set up system of equations:

2x + 3y = -18

3x + 2y = -17

elimination method:  multiply 1st equation by -2 and second by 3

 -4x - 6y = 36

+

<u>  9x + 6y = -51</u>

  5x = -15

   x = -3

find y:  2(-3) + 3y = -18

           -6 + 3y = -18

            3y = -12

             y = -4

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Find the attached

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the following expression;

(x-2)=5(x+1)

We are required to determine the graph of the solution set. To do this we formulate the following set of equations;

y = x - 2

y = 5(x+1)

We then graph these two equations on the same cartesian plane. The solution will be the point where these two graphs intersect.

PROBLEM SOLVING A game of bowling has ten frames. After five frames, your friend’s bowling score is 65 and your bowling score $x
Elodia [21]

Considering the situation described, we have that:

a. x = 65 - 8 = 57.

b. You won the game, as you scored 137 and your friend 130.

<h3>What is the equation for the situation after five frames?</h3>

Your friend's score is of 65, and your score of x is 8 less than your friend, hence the equation is:

x = 65 - 8 = 57.

<h3>What are the final scores?</h3>

Your friend score doubled, hence his/her final score is:

2 x 65 = 130.

Your score increased by 80, hence your final score is:

57 + 80 = 137.

You won the game, as you scored 137 and your friend 130.
