You seemed to have asked this multiple times. I have answered one of yours. Its D.
26+N=F
F= final score
N= points in second half
26+18=F
F=44
7x+5y=-24 (1)
4x+y=42 (2)
multiply equation (2) by 5 to get
20x+5y=210 (3)
then calculate (3)-(2) which gives you
13x=234 hence x=18
then substitute for x in either equation to get y=-30
Solution: (2,8)
Using the elimination method set up the system of equations like:
y = x + 6
y = 3x + 2
Eliminate the x-variable by multiplying the top equation by -3
-3y = -3x -18
y = 3x + 2
Combine terms:
-2y = -16
-y = -8
y = 8
Plug in 8 to one of the first equations for y
8 = 3x + 2
6 = 3x
x = 2
Solution: (2,8)
