Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x = -3, y = 0
Discussion:
5x + 5y = -15 =>
x + y = -3 => (divide both sides by 5)
x + y - y = -3 -y => (subtract y from both sides)
x = -3 - y
Substitute x = -3 - y into the top equation:
-3x - 5y = -9 =>
-3(-3-y) - 5y = 9 => ( substitute -3 -y for x)
(-3)(-3) + (-3)(-y) - 5y = 9 =>
9 + 3y - 5y = 9 => ( -*- is a + number)
9 -2y = 9 =>
9 - 9 -2y = 9 - 9 => (subtract 9 from both sides)
-2y = 0 =>
y = 0
Since x = -3 -y, x = -3 - 0 = =3

Answer:
Its A. Medera turned the phone off while playing in the soccer game
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is the last choice.
In a compound interest equation, the first value is the initial investment. In this case, it would be 5000. After the 5000, you would enter the rate that is being used.
X - 4/2 ; where x = -1.6
Substitute x by its value.
-1.6 - 4/2 *as you notice, one number is in decimal and the other is in fraction form. We need to convert one form to the other to make the numbers like numbers so that solving the equation will be easier and less confusing.
4/2 can easily be converted into decimal by dividing 4 by 2 which equals to 2.
So, -1.6 - 2 = ? The operation is a subtraction, but the other number is in negative form, if both numbers have the same sign, we add them up and the sign is carried over to the sum.
-1.6 -2 = -3.6 * we add 1.6 + 2 = 3.6, then we carry over its negative sign = -3.6
