1 & 5/8 because 7/8 is closer to 1 whole than 5/8
Answer:
48:36 64:48 60:80
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 40
+
-2x + 2y = 20
___________ Adding both equations
0x + 5y = 60
____________
5y = 60
y = 60/5 = 12
y = 12.
Since we have gotten y =12, and the only option with that is option D.
So we don't have to solve for x.

Answer:
x=3, y=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
We are already given an equation solved for x, making substitution much easier. We know x=4y+7, meaning we can put 4y+7 whenever we see x in the second equation
2x-6y=12
We substitute 4y+7 in place of x
2(4y+7)-6y=12
Now we only have one variable to work on, distribute the 2
8y+14-6y=12
Combine similar terms, 8y-6y=2y
2y+14=12
Subtract 14 from both sides
2y=-2
y=-1
Now we plug in -1 for y in the first equation to find x
x=4(-1)+7
x=-4+7
x=3
