The coefficients are 15 and 85.
the variables are x and y.
85 represents 85 dollars for each x, which is the number of shifts.
15 represents 15 dollars for each y, which is the number of dog walking jobs.
16 squared is 256 because if you multiply 16 times 16 you get 256
No. 61 is an odd number not divisible
Answer:
Dividing -2 on both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: C. (-4, -2)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
First, eliminate one of the variables and solve for the remaining variable:
2x - 5y = 2 → 3(2x - 5y = 2) → 6x - 15y = 6
3x + 2y = -16 → -2(3x + 2y = -16) → <u> -6x - 4y = 32</u>
-19y = 38
y = -2
Next, replace "y" with -2 into either of the original equations to solve for x:
2x - 5y = 2
2x - 5(-2) = 2
2x + 10 = 2
2x = -8
x = -4
x = -4, y = -2
<u>Check:</u>
Plug in the x- and y-values into the other original equation:
3x + 2y = -16
3(-4) + 2(-2) = -16
-12 + -4 = -16
-16 = -16
