Answer:
<h3><u>x>4</u> is the right answer.</h3>
It could be either y = 12.75x or y = 13x. Check if you made a typing error because these rates are both better than B
3x + 4y = 31
2x - 4y = -6
*The +4 and -4 in the center of the equation cancel out because 4-4 = 0*
3x = 31
2x = -6
------------
*add like terms*
3x + 2x = 5x
31 - 6 = 25
So now you should have this written on your paper ... > 5x = 25
*Divide by 5 on each side*
5x = 25

5 5
x = 5
