Answer:
a - (6-9)
Hopefully this is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
His work should have looked like this.
2x + y = 5
x − 2y = 10
y = 5 − 2x
x − 2(5 − 2x) = 10
x − 10 + 4x = 10
5x − 10 = 10 When he added in both sides, he subtracted 10 from 10,
5x = 20 instead of adding 10 from 10 to make 20.
x = 4
2(4) + y = 5
8 + y = 5
y = -3
Solve for r in the first equation:
3(r+300) = 6
Use the distributive property:
3r + 900 = 6
Subtract 900 from both sides:
3r = -894
Divide both sides by 3:
r = -894 / 3
r = -298
Now you have r, replace r in the second equation and solve:
r +300 -2 =
-298 + 300 - 2 = 0
The answer is 0.
49/179 is already in simplest form!
