-3x - y = -17
4x + 2y = 20
multiply one part of the equation so that we can be able to use the process of elimination.
(-3x - y = -17)2
4x + 2y = 20
Now we have:
-6x -2y = - 34
4x+2y= 20
------------------------
-2x = -14
Divide -2 on both sides.
-2x = -14
/-2 /-2
x = -7.
=============================================
To solve for y, we just have to substitute the value of x to any of the equation given above, that we feel comfortable with. And I'm going to choose this equation: 4x + 2y = 20
4x + 2y = 20
4(-7) + 2y = 20
-28 + 2y = 20
Add 28 on both sides
-28 + 2y = 20
+28 +28
---------------------
2y = 48
/2 /2
y = 24.
The last thing you would do is to check if the answers is correct.
All you have to do is plug in the values of x and y into both equations and see if they equal to one another.
You may have to do this by yourself :P

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You can't answer c. There is not enough information. Other than there are 14 boys that went, you know nothing about how many went.
Girls going = (3/5) * 20 = 12
Girls not going = 20 - 12 = 8
The class is weighted as follows:
60% Regular Tests
10% Final Exam
15% Project
15% Homework
The total weighted points possible for the class are as follows:
(100+100+100+100+100)*.6 + 100*.1 + 100*.15 + 100*.15 = 340
To calculate her individual final weighted grade we plug in her scores for each category and complete the following computation:
(92+83+77+84+82)*.6 + 88*.1 + 95*.15 + 77*.15 = 285.4
So her weighted grade percent would be 285.4/340 = 83.9% which is a B.
Answer:
A. 169 is the correct answer
7(2x - 4) + 2(3x + 1) Distribute/multiply 7 into (2x - 4), and multiply 2 into (3x + 1)
14x - 28 + 6x + 2 Combine like terms
20x - 26
Your answer is B
x = 7
y = 2
Plug in the numbers into the variables
4(4) - 2 + 4
16 + 2
18
Your answer is D
