-5x+13y=-7
5x+4y=24
add the equation to eliminate x:
13y+4y=-7+24
17y=17
solve for y:
17/17y=17/17
y=1
then plug in y into any equation to solve for x:
-5x+13y=-7, y=1
-5x+(13*1)=-7
-5x+13-13=-7-13
-5x=-20
-5/-5x=-20/-5
x=4
the answers are x=4, y=1
Answer:
2.25 or 2 1/4 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
if you add them all up (I converted them to decimals when adding) you get 13.5 or 13 1/2 if your using fractions, then you divide that by 6 because thats how many jars there are and you get 2.25 or 2 1/4
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Set the equal to each other
2x-4=4x-10
6=2x
x=3
y=2(3)-4
=6-4
y =2
