Answer:
x=2, y=4
Step-by-step explanation:
When using elimination, the objective is to elimate one variable. In this case, we see that "y" can easily be eliminated by adding the two equations together since you will get 3y + (-3y) which will eliminate y because the value would become 0, letting us solve for x.

Then we get
, because the y's will eliminated, and 8x+7x is 15x, and 28+2 is 30.
Then divide by 15 on both sides and you get x=2
If x=2, then we can substitute that value into any of the previous given equations and find the value of y.
8×2 +3y = 28
16+3y=28
3y=12
y=4
So the answer to your system of equations would be x=2, and y=4
You can substitute the answers we found to see that they satisfy the equation.
Hope this helped.
Answer:
11,703 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Since absolute value is never negative, just add the distances to get the full span. Just think of above sea level as positive and below sea level as negative.
Okay so the table represents B, in one hour of work, the person will make 18.25 (you get this by dividing 36.50 by two because that is how much they made in two hours, we need to know how much they make in one)
Therefore, the equation for A, which has to be less than B, would be either be Y=18x or Y=18.1x
