Writing an equation would be most helpful, but depending on the situation drawing a diagram or reading a table could work better.
The easy thing to do is eliminate x by subtraction
x + 7y = 24
- x - 9y = -24
-------------------
16y = 48
now solve for y and then substitute the value into either original equation to find x
Follow these steps:
-8.4b - 4.2 = 12.6
Add 4.2 on both sides:
-8.4b = 16.8
Divide by -8.4 on both sides to give you the final answer of:
b = -2
So you're answer is indeed correct! Hope this helps and that the steps are clear enough!
Answer:
The answer is actually 74 days. I know how to algebraically solve this, however I am unsure how to transpose my work onto the computer.
