The total number of bees is the number in the hive plus the number in the garden. 14 + 17 = 31 bees
Solve 5+8 and get 13(3+x) then muliply 13×3 and 13×X... you will end up with 39+13x
The second option 0.04 is greater
Is there a picture that goes with the question ?
> multiply the second equation by 2 and add it to the first equation.
2(-6x - 7y = -10)
-12x -14y = -20
8x + 14y = 4
-12x - 14y = -20
--------------------
- 4x + 0 = - 16
x = -16/-4
x = 4
> use x = 4 in either equation to find y
8(4) + 14y = 4
32 + 14y = 4
14y = 4 - 32
14y = -28
y = -28/14
y = -2
