Step-by-step explanation:
4x+13y=-9y+3y=33
17x=-6y=33
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
New equation: y = -3(2y + 3) - 4
Distribute and simplify: y = -6y - 13
Add 6y: 7y = -13
Answer:
First "order of operations" mistake: step 2
First arithmetic mistake: step 4
Step-by-step explanation:
As we understand Rena's work, she wants to simplify ...

for x = -1 and y = 2.
Her work seems to be ...
<u>Step 1</u>

<u>Step 2</u>

<u>Step 3</u>

<u>Step 4</u>

_____
So, the first arithmetic error is in Step 4. However, the order of operations requires exponents be evaluated first. Doing that makes step 2 look like ...

We expect your answer is supposed to be Step 4.
