Hello!

\large\boxed{5, -8}

5x + 2y = 9

4x - 3y = 44

We can eliminate y by multiplying both expressions in order to have the y coefficients equal.

The LCM (least common multiple) of 2 and 3 is 6, so we can multiply each accordingly:

3(5x + 2y = 9)

2(4x - 3y = 44)

Distribute:

15x + 6y = 27

8x - 6y = 88

Cancel using addition:

15x + 6y = 27

8x - 6y = 88

------------------

23x = 115

Divide:

x = 5.

Plug in this value of x into an equation to solve for y:

5(5) + 2y = 9

25 + 2y = 9

2y = -16

y = -8

The solution of the system is:

(5, -8).

You are fishing and are allowed to catch at most 3 striped basses. Each striped bass must be no less than 18 inches long. a. Wri
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

18y*3>_b

Step-by-step explanation:

If b represents the amount of striped bass we are allowed to catch, than it must be either less than or equal to 3 bass who are 18 inches long. To show that, put a alligator mouth that is facing the 18y*3 and a line below it. The mouth represents less than and the line below it represents or equal to. I cant put the line below it while typing so this will have to do.  The y represents inches.
