Answer:
x=10, y=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
solve by addition/elimination
Answer:
Women: 448 Men: 560 Children: 1232
Step-by-step explanation:
5+4+11 = 20/2240 = 112
Women = 4 x 112 = 448
Men = 5 x 112 = 560
Children = 11 x 112 = 1232
Total = 1232 + 560 +448 = 2240
Distribute the 2 into the 2x and -y
Then add “like terms” which are 3x and 4x... 3y and -2y
Which then becomes 7x+y
There are no more “like terms” so that is your final answer
Here is the equation:

Since both decimals are negative, the answer will be positive.
- Negative times Negative = Positive
Divide both sides by -3.9 to leave the variable alone:

r is equal to 4 → r = 4
