Substitution doesn't work for this, but elimination does.
-6x-8y=-20 +6( x+6y=-6)
-6x-8y=-20 + 6x+36y=-36
-6x and 6x cancel each other, add -8 and 36 to get 28, and -20 and -36 to get -56.
28y=-56
divide by 28 on both sides.
Y= -2
Then substitute y into one of the equations.
x+6(-2)=-6
x-12=-6
x=6
The ordered pair is (6,-2).
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
If 9 members paid on the first day, this means they did not pay on the third day
The remaining people (everyone but the 9) paid on the third day
Therefore we must subtract to find out how many members paid on the third day
22 - 9 = 13
Each of the 13 members paid $12.80 which means we must multiply
13 × 12.80 = 166.40
In total, the grocery store collected $166.40 on the third day of the month

Answer:
33/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x, and the second number be y.
x - y = 4
x + y = -7
Solve for x in the first equation.
x - y = 4
x = 4 + y
Put x as (4 + y) in the second equation and solve for y.
4 + y + y = -7
4 + 2y = -7
2y = -7 - 4
2y = -11
y = -11/2
Put y as -11/2 in the first equation and solve for x.
x - y = 4
x - (-11/2) = 4
x + 11/2 = 4
x = 4 - 11/2
x = -3/2
Their product is:
-11/2 × -3/2
33/4
