Solve by elimination.
The goal is to cancel out one of the variables in order to easily solve for the other variable.
Do this by changing the equations so that the coefficients of either x or y add up to 0.
Notice the coefficients of y are 3 and 3, if we make one of them negative then they add up to 0. 3+ (-3) = 0
Multiply 2nd equation by -1.
6x +3y = 9
-2x -3y = -1
__________
4x +0y = 8
Solve for x
4x = 8
x = 8/4 = 2
Plug x=2 back into one of original equations to find y.
---> 2(2) + 3y = 1
---> 4 + 3y = 1
---> 3y = -3
---> y = -1
Therefore solution is (2,-1)

Answer:78.396 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
7 1/12 - 2 3/4
First we have to change mixed numbers to improper fractions
7 1/12 = 7 x 12 + 1 = 85 85/12
2 3/4 = 2 x 4 + 3 = 11 11/4
85/12 - 11/4
Now we need to find the LCD (least common denominator) for 4 and 12
4, 8, 12
12
12 is our LCD, so it becomes our new denominator
85/12 would stay the same because the denominator wasn't changed but for 11/4 our new denominator is 12, so our fraction will change.
11/4 = 33/12
4 goes into 12, 3 times. What you do to the bottom, you do to the top.
3 x 11 = 33
3 x 4 = 12
So, our new fraction is 33/12. Now we subtract
85/12 - 33/12 = 52/12
Now we convert back to a mixed number
52 ÷ 12 = 4 4/12 reduce
4 1/3
Hope this helps.
15 + 7 + 9 + 7 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 3 = 52
