Answer: 5p - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Brendan has six less than five times the number of pencils that Riley has.

P = the number of pencils Riley has.

The algebraic expression that represents the number of pencils Brendan has in terms of p, the number of pencils that Riley has would be:

= (5 × p) - 6

= 5p - 6

For example, if Riley has 5 pencils, the number of pencils that Brendan would have would be:

= 5p - 6.

= 5(5) - 6

= 25 - 6

= 19 pencils

You can reword the two equations as:

-5x-y=15 (Divide original value by 3)
-2x+6y=6

Then use elimination to find x:

-30x-6y=90 (Multiply by 6 to get y values to be same to cancel out)
-2x+6y=6

You're left with:

-32x=96. Which can then be solved to find x which is -3.

Then plug back in 

-2x+6y=6

Now to: -2(-3)+6y=6.

Which reduces to 6+6y=6. So y=0.



To graph them, just reword the equations (yes once again) so that y is in front.

y=-5x-15 and y=(1/3)x+1
