2x + 4y = 14
4x + y = 20......multiply by -4
----------------
2x + 4y = 14
-16x - 4y = -80 (result of multiplying by -4)
---------------add
-14x = -66....as u can see, ur y's cancel out
so ur answer is : 1st answer choice <==
** and just so u know, u could have multiplied the 1st equation by -2, and it would have cancelled out ur x's
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
This man is cutting 6.5 ft of wood into pieces that are .75 ft long.
Divide 6.5/.75 and there's ur answer chief
change to improper fractions
77 1/2 = 145/2
2 1/4 = 9/4
divide
145/2 divide 9/4
copy dot flip
145/2 * 4/9
580/18
290/9
32 2/9
it will fit into 32 bags with 2/9 left over
We have 32 full bags * 2.25 = $72.00

Answer: x = -6</h2>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
To solve for x, we have to find a way to make x the subject of the equation (get x on one side and everything else on the other side)
<h3>
</h3>
since -4 = (2/3)x [mutiply both sides by 3]
⇒ -4 × 3 = 2x [divide both sides by 2]
⇒ (-12/2) = x [simplify by dividing -12 by 2]
∴ x = -6
