14x + 10y = 72
14x + 4y = 96
6y = -24
6 6
y = -4
14x + 10y = 72
14x + 10(-4) = 72
14x - 40 = 72
+ 40 + 40
14x = 112
14 14
x = 8
(x, y) = (8, -4)
Hey there :)
To find the slope with <em>two points</em> we will need to use the equation 

( 3 , -20 ) ( 5 , 8 )
Here is what the equation should look like when replaced with the numbers (<em>it will be a fraction</em>) :

We know that <em>two negatives</em> cancel out and make a positive, so the numerator would actually be 8 + 20.
Solve the fraction and we get 
28 <em>divided</em> by 2 is 14. The slope is 14.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
They are not equivalent because 27-(63-8) is equal to -28 and (72-63)-8 is equal to 1.<span />
Answer:
(2/3)x = -11
x = -33/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 of a number is -11.
Let the unknown number be x.
2/3 of x is -11.
(2/3)x = -11
Multiply both sides by 3/2.
(3/2)(2/3)x = (3/2)(-11/1)
x = -33/2
