Hey!
Let's write it,

Add

to both sides,


Subtract

from both sides.


Since we don't want a negative variable, we have to divide both sides by

.

Our answer would be,

Answer:
Both
and
are solutions to the system.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to determine whether the two given points represent solutions to our system of equations, we must "plug" thos points into both equations and check that the equality remains valid.
Step 1: Plug
into 

The solution verifies the equation.
Step 2: Plug
into 

The solution verifies both equations. Therefore,
is a solution to this system.
Now we must check if the second point is also valid.
Step 3: Plug
into 

Step 4: Plug
into 

The solution verifies both equations. Therefore,
is another solution to this system.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to set up a ratio for the original recipe and then use that ratio for the new one.
If we need 3 cups of flour for every 4 cups of sugar, we have a 3 c flour/4 c sugar ratio, or 3/4
The new ratio is 9 c of flour for ? c of sugar. Those ratios have to be the same, so we set up an equation like this:
3/4 = 9/?
In order to keep the same ratio, you have to multiply by the same number. Since 3*3 = 9, multiply 4*3 to get your answer.
Answer:
3/40
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 1/5 * 3/8
