First, you need to isolate the x in the first equation.
-x + 5y = 1
Subtract 5y from both sides, leaving you with the following equation:
-x = 1-5y
Because you are trying to solve for positive x and not negative x, you need to make x positive. Therefore you divide both sides by -1. In Algebra, when 1 is the coefficient of the variable, it is not shown, but it is still there. The new equation will be the following: x = 5y-1
Now you just need to substitute the x within the second equation for the x equation we just solved for.
Therefore, the right answer will be 2(5y-1)+4y= -4. Now, all you have to do is choose the answer that states exactly that, which is the first choice.
Answer: 14
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 gallon =2 quarts, so add the 2 quarts and the 1 quart of ginger ale, plus the one pint of lemonade and this makes 14 cups of punch
The first one is b. The second one is d. Sorry if I’m wrong :(
