Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

let r represent red marbles then white = 2r + 5 and total is 20, thus

r + 2r + 5 = 20 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

3r = 15 ( divide both sides by 3 )

r = 5 ← number of red marbles

Thus number of white = 20 - 5 = 15

Y = – 3
KonstantinChe [14]

The  best approximation for the solution to this system of equations is (-2.2,-3)

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the system of equations to get the exact value of x:

y = -3\\y = x-0.8

Let

y = -3\,\,eq(1)\\y = x-0.8\,\,eq(2)

Putting value of y from eq(1) into eq(2)

-3=x-0.8

x=-3+0.8

x=-2.2

So, Value of x is -2.2

The  best approximation for the solution to this system of equations is:

x=-2.2 and y = -3

(-2.2,-3)

Option C is correct.
