Answer:

<em>(12, - 1) </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 2y = 14 ......... <em>(1)</em>

x + 3y = 9 ......... <em>(2)</em>

<em>(2) - (1)</em>

(x - x) + (3y - ( - 2y)) = 9 - 14

5y = - 5 ⇒ <u><em>y = - 1</em></u>

x + 3( - 1) = 9 ⇒ <u><em>x = 12</em></u>

<em>(12, - 1)</em>

(12,-1) or x=12 and y=-1

EXPLANATION:
you set both equations equal to each other by subtracting the sum and adding it to the equation. once you set them equal to eachother (x-2y-14=x+3y-9)
you can solve by moving everything to one side by subtracting. once you get it all to one side you can start adding common numbers and variables and solve

Ben and winston ade both selling cookie dough for a fundraiser. Although ben has already sold 10tubs, Winston 
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

On the first day, Ben (B) starts with 10 tubs and Winston (W) starts with 0 tubs.

After the first day, Ben sells 8 tubs per day while Winston sells 9 tubs per day.

Therefore we can write the following equation:  (Where d = number of days)

B = 10 + 8d

W = 0 + 9d = 9d

We are told that eventually they will sell the same amount which means

B = W

This means we can say,

10 + 8d = 9d

If we subtract 8d from both sides we get

10 = d

Therefore it will take 10 days for them to sell the same amount of cookie dough.
