<h3>
Answer: C) 6</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
The weird looking E symbol is the greek uppercase letter sigma. It refers to a sum.
It tells us to add up terms in the form (-1)^n*(3n+2) where n is an integer ranging from n = 1 to n = 4.
------------------
If n = 1, then we have
(-1)^n*(3n+2) = (-1)^1*(3*1+2) = -5
Let A = -5 as we'll use it later.
------------------
If n = 2, then
(-1)^n*(3n+2) = (-1)^2*(3*2+2) = 8
Let B = 8 since we'll use this later as well
------------------
If n = 3, then
(-1)^n*(3n+2) = (-1)^3*(3*3+2) = -11
Let C = -11
-------------------
If n = 4, then
(-1)^n*(3n+2) = (-1)^4*(3*4+2) = 14
Let D = 14.
--------------------
We'll add up the values of A,B,C,D to get the final answer
A+B+C+D = -5+8+(-11)+14 = 6
This means that

Answer:
You collected 1,395 kg.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since each pound would be 45 kg and you collected 31 pounds more then you would have to multiply 45 times 31.
13x - 6y = 2......multiply by 2
3x - 4y = -10....multiply by -3
------------------
26x - 12y = 4 (result of multiplying by 2)
-9x + 12y = 30 (result of multiplying by -3)
-----------------add
17x = 34
x = 34/17
x = 2
now sub 2 in for x into either of the original equations to find y
3x - 4y = -10
3(2) - 4y = -10
6 - 4y = -10
6 + 10 = 4y
16 = 4y
16/4 = y
4 = y
solution is (2,4)
