Answer:
D. (-3, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equations have different coefficients for x and y, so will have one solution. The solutions offered are easily tested in either equation.
Using (x, y) = (-2, -3):
x = y -1 ⇒ -2 = -3 -1 . . . . False
Using (x, y) = (-3, -2):
x = y -1 ⇒ -3 = -2 -1 . . . .True
2x = 3y ⇒ 2(-3) = 3(-2) . . . . True
The solution is (-3, -2).

If you'd like to solve the set of equations, substitution for x works nicely.
2(y -1) = 3y
2y -2 = 3y . . eliminate parentheses
-2 = y . . . . . . subtract 2y
x = -2 -1 = -3
The solution is (x, y) = (-3, -2).

Step-by-step explanation:
23x + 10y = 86
28x + 5y = 76
solve by elimination
multiply the top by -1 and the bottom by 2
-23x + -10y = -86
56x + 10y = 152
add them
33x = 66
x = 2
with x = 2 plug x into one of the equations
23x + 10y = 86
23(2) + 10y = 86
46 + 10y = 86
10y = 40
y = 4
x = 2 and y = 4 so

Answer:
16(4b - c)
Explanation:
16 x 4b = 64b
16 x c = 16c
Answer:
c.
That's because numbers like 2,31, 50 and so on are integers while 2.4, √66 ND so on are not
