Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
4x - 5y = 18 → (1)
3x - 2y = 10 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by - 4, then adding will eliminate the x- term
12x - 15y = 54 → (3)
- 12x + 8y = - 40 → (4)
Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x, that is
- 7y = 14 ( divide both sides by - 7 )
y = - 2
Substitute y = - 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
4x - 5(- 2) = 18
4x + 10 = 18 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 2
solution is (2, - 2 ) → D
Answer: 
This is the same as writing (n-m)/n
Don't forget about the parenthesis if you go with the second option.

Explanation:
The probability that she wins is m/n, where m,n are placeholders for positive whole numbers.
For instance, m = 2 and n = 5 leads to m/n = 2/5. This would mean that out of n = 5 chances, she wins m = 2 times.
The probability of her not winning is 1 - (m/n). We subtract the probability of winning from 1 to get the probability of losing.
We could leave the answer like this, but your teacher says that the answer must be "in the form of a combined single fraction".
Doing a bit of algebra would have these steps
and now the expression is one single fraction.
Answer:
x² - 4x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
When multiplying binomials (two terms in an expression), use FOIL. It stands for the first, outside, inside, and last terms in each bracket.
(x−3)(x−1) Expand with FOIL
= x² - x - 3x + 3 Collect like terms
= x² - 4x + 3
Answer:
30 = total muffins
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how many muffins were eaten, we take the total muffins times the fraction that were eaten
eaten muffins = total muffins * fraction
25 = total muffins* 5/6
Multiply each side by 6/5
6/5*25 = total muffins *5/6*6/5
30 = total muffins
