Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to the question is a direct variation. k=2
Answer:
Solve by substitution
[y=5/2x-4]
[y= -x+3]
Substitute y = -x +3
[-x+3=5/2x-4]
Isolate x for -x+3=5/2x-4: x=2
For y = -x+3
Substitute x = 2
y= -2+3
Simplify
y=1
The solutions to the system of equations are:
y=1 x=2
18 - 7x = -20.5
Subtract 18 from each side:
-7x = -38.5
Divide both sides by -7:
x = -38.5 / -7
x = -5.5 = 5 1/2
The answer is D.
