Answer:
(x, y) = (-2.5, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you are given an expression for y, it is convenient to substitute that into the second equation.
2x -3(6x +11) = 7
2x -18x -33 = 7
-16x = 40 . . . . . . add 33
x = -40/16 = -2.5
Using the equation for y, we find ...
y = 6(-2.5) +11 = -15 +11 = -4
The solution is (x, y) = (-2.5, -4).

Answer:
<u>Answer (a):</u>
s + l = 22 ... (i)
43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)
<u>Answer (b)</u>
9 large dogs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Paws at Play made a total of $1234 grooming 22 dogs.
Paws at Play charges $43 to groom each small dog and;
$75 for each large dog.
Let the number of small dogs be 's'
And the number of large dogs be 'l'
<u>A system of equations will be:</u>
s + l = 22 ... (i)
43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)
Solving this set of simultaneous equations by elimination, we simply multiply (i) by 43 to get;
43s + 43l = 946 ... (i)
43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii) we get;
32l = 288 , l = = 9
So there are 9 large dogs.
