When we write out the system of equations, we will get:

x+y=18

x-y=8

 We can then use elimination to get just one variable.

 x+y=18

+x-y=  8

 Which gives us:   2x=26

 We then divide by 2 and get:    x=13

 We next plug that into one of the two equations and solve for the other variable:    (13)+y=18

We subtract 13 from both sides and get:   y=5

So the two numbers are 13 and 5.

Reflect AQ'R'S' if Q'(1, -3), R'(-2,-6),<br> and S'(-1,-1) over the x-axis.
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of reflecting over the x-axis is that point (x, y) →( x, -y) so

Q'(1, -3), R'(-2,-6),and S'(-1,-1) reflected over the x-axis, become

Q"(1, 3), R"(-2, 6), and S"(-1, 1) .

Plz help ill give brainlist to you

Hey there!

To start, first set up your expression like this:
(5x+17)-(3x-4)

You must set up your expression like this since in subtraction, order matters and the problem asks for the difference between the first plant and the second plant, respectively, meaning you must follow in this order.

Now, simplify:
(5x+17)-(3x-4)
(5x+17)+(-3x+4)
2x+21

Therefore, the difference the two companies would be 2x+21.

First order all the numbers least to greatest.<span>

$28, $28, $30, $31, $35, $36, $41, $43

Because there are two numbers in the middle (no, one middle number).

Add the two together, and divide by 2

31 + 35 = 66

66/2 = 33

</span><span>B.$33 is your answer
