Step-by-step explanation:
3x = -5y -------------- (1)
6x - 7y = 17 --------- (2)
From (1):
3x = -5y
x = -5/3 y ---------- sub into (2)
6 (-5/3 y) - 7y = 17
-10y - 7y = 17
-17y = 17
y = -1 ------------ Sub into (1)
3x = -5 (-1)
3x = 5
x = 5/3
Ans: x = 5/3, y = -1
It’s either A or C I would pick A even though they don’t really make sense.
The linear equation has an equal signed involved and the expression doesn’t.
It would need to be 16.4592 meters higher which rounds to 16 meters rounded to the nearest tenth
