Answer:

x= -20, y= 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Label the two equations:

-7x -10y= 40 -----(1)

x= -2y -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

-7(-2y) -10y= 40

Expand:

14y -10y= 40

Simplify:

4y= 40

Divide both sides by 4:

y= 40 ÷4

y= 10

Substitute y= 10 into (2):

x= -2y

x= -2(10)

x= -20

Lamar used 7/8 of a cup of raisins to make snacks mix. he used 3/4 of a cup of raisins to make cookies what expression could be

Alinara [238K]

The answer is B.

In order to add the two values together, you must find the least common multiple for the denominators. The denominators are 8 and 4, and the least common multiple of 8 and 4 is 8. Because you have to multiply 4 by 2 to get 8, you must also multiply 3 by 2 to get 6. This will give you 6/8.
