Your inequality is (x being number of people):
175≥35+10x+3x
First, combine like terms so your new inequality is:
175≥35+13x
Then subtract 35 from both sides which makes it:
140≥13x
then divide 140 by 13 making it:
<span>10.769≥x
</span>But because you can't have .769 of a person the actual answer is 10
then you have to subtract 1 because he isn't including himself and there is the answer!:
9≥x
If ya distribute it it comes together as 24 + 8x soo i hope this helped
The answer would be D.
you would start by choosing one of the variables to eliminate, i chose to eliminate X first. in order to eliminate X, i had to multiply the second equation by -2. X then cancelled out, and i solved for the Y the same way you would a 1 step equation. Y=-4
I then took the first original equations, plugged Y in, and solved for X. X=3.
Hope this helps!
