-3x - y = -17
4x + 2y = 20
multiply one part of the equation so that we can be able to use the process of elimination.
(-3x - y = -17)2
4x + 2y = 20
Now we have:
-6x -2y = - 34
4x+2y= 20
------------------------
-2x = -14
Divide -2 on both sides.
-2x = -14
/-2 /-2
x = -7.
=============================================
To solve for y, we just have to substitute the value of x to any of the equation given above, that we feel comfortable with. And I'm going to choose this equation: 4x + 2y = 20
4x + 2y = 20
4(-7) + 2y = 20
-28 + 2y = 20
Add 28 on both sides
-28 + 2y = 20
+28 +28
---------------------
2y = 48
/2 /2
y = 24.
The last thing you would do is to check if the answers is correct.
All you have to do is plug in the values of x and y into both equations and see if they equal to one another.
You may have to do this by yourself :P

Answer:
<h2>C.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the pictures.
x - sausage
y - bacon
A. 20 pounds of sausage and 90 pound of bacon
x = 20 → y = 100 > 90
B. 40 pound of sausage and 40 pound of bacon
x = 40 → y = 75 > 40
C. 60 pound of sausage and 80 pound of bacon
x = 60 → y = 50 < 80
D. 80 pound of sausage and 20 pound of bacon
x = 80 → y = 25 > 20
