K-3 is the expression for 3 fewer than K
<span>3x + y= 17 (a)
4x + 2 y = 20 (b)
Multiply (a) by 2:
6x + 2y = 34 (a)
4x + 2y = 20 (b)
make: (a) - (b)
2x = 14 -----> x =7
-------------------------------
Replace the value of x = 7 in one of anterior equation:
</span>3x + y= 17
3 x 7 + y = 17
21 + y = 17
y = 17 - 21
y = -4
Hi :)
the distance of (P,Q) is (5,25) and the midpoint of segment PQ is (-1/2, -17.5).
hope this helps.
