4x - 2y = 14
y = 0.5x -1
Get just one variable on one side for both equations.
4x - 2y = 14 ⇒ 4x = 2y + 14 ⇒ 4x - 14 = 2y
y = 0.5x - 1 ⇒ x - 2 = 2y
Use the transitive property and then solve for x.
x-2 = 4x-14
12 = 3x
x = 4

Answer:
the answer is the same.....
Answer:
B) 5 5/8in x 9in is your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
First add the bottom numbers together (9+6+9) which gives you 24. Then multiply both sides by 3/8 (15 x 3/8= 5 <u>5/8</u>) and (24 x 3/8= <u>9</u>) making your answer 5 5/8 x 9
Given, To make a strawberry shortcake for one person, we need :
▪︎
cup of strawberry
▪︎one shortbread biscuit
Quantity of strawberries Elisa has = 3 cups
Number of shortbread biscuits she has = 12
Number of shortcakes she can make :



Thus, Elisa can serve strawberry shortcakes to 9 people.
With 12 dozen shortbread biscuits she can serve 12 people.
Quantity of strawberries needed to serve 12 people :



<h3>○=> Therefore :</h3>
▪︎Elisa can serve strawberry shortcakes to <u>9 people</u>.
▪︎Elisa will need <u>4 cups of strawberries</u> if she wants to use all dozen shortbread biscuits.
