Y = -4/5 x - 2
-9 = -4/5 x - 2
-4/5 x = -9 + 2 = -7
-4x = 5(-7) = -35
x = -35/-4 = 35/4
To get the answer, you need to think of it like a see-saw.
Both sides must equal the same relative to 33.5. For example, 32 is 1.5 away from 33.5 so you could say you have 1.5*4 (because theres 4 tubes with 32 sweets). If you were to do this for the whole table, it would look something like this:

This simplifies to:




This method can sometimes be inefficient depending on how many values but is probably the simplest way to solve this problem.
hope this helps :)
(sorry the other way is kinda hard to explain possibly ask your teacher tomorrow)
I think it is true but I am not 100% sure thought but good luck
Answer:
19
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Sam be x
Let Susan be y
x = y+11
x + y = 27
Substitute (x) with (y+11)
(y+11) + y = 27
Solve the equation
2y + 11 = 27
2y = 16
y = 8
Susan's age is 8.
Sam's age is 8 + 11
Sam's age is 19
Hope this helped :)
