3x = 6y - 6
x = 2y - 2
4 ( 2y - 2 ) = 4 + 5 ( 2y - 2 )
8y - 8 = 4 + 10y - 10
2y = - 2
y = - 1
x = 2 ( - 1 ) - 2
x = - 4

1.25 represents the cost of each of the toppings in the pizza and the price of the pizza without the toppings is the (12) and f(x) is the total cost of the pizza
A is the correct answer for this question
Answer:
the solution is (-1, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve the system
(3x + 4y = 5)
(2x - 3y = -8)
using the method of elimination by addition and subtraction. Notice that if we multiply all terms of the first equation by 3 and all terms of the second by 4, y as a variable will temporarily disappear:
9x + 12y = 15
8x - 12y = -32
-----------------------
17x = - 17, so x = -1.
Replacing x in the second equation by -1, we get:
2(-1) - 3y = -8, or
2 + 3y = 8,
or 3y = 6. Thus, y = 2, and the solution is (-1, 2).
let's say that C is "x" units farther from B, that means that CB = x, and therefore AC = 1.5x.
