Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3y = 7 → (1)
3x + 2y = 0 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by - 3 and adding to (2) will eliminate x
- 3x - 9y = - 21 → (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate x
0 - 7y = - 21
- 7y = - 21 ( divide both sides by - 7 )
y = 3
Substitute y = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
x + 3(3) = 7
x + 9 = 7 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
x = - 2
solution is (- 2, 3 ) → B
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Freda's sum = x
Donnie has 3/4 x
He spends 63 dollars. His sum is now
3/4x - 63
Now the equation looks like this
6(3/4x - 63) = x Remove the brackets
6*3/4 x - 378 =x
6 * 3/4 = 4 1/2
4 1/2 x - 378 = x Add 378 to both sides
4 1/2 x = x + 378 Subtract x from both sides
3.5 x = 378 Divide by 3.5
x = 378 /3.5
x = 108
Since x = 108, that's how much Freda had. (She spent nothing).
