If you could move the photo a little I can answer it
Since both equations equal Y, set them equal to each other and solve.
3x -1 = -2x +9
Add 2x to each side:
5x - 1 = 9
Add 1 to each side:
5x = 10
Divide both sides by 5:
x = 10/5
x = 2
Now replace x with 2 and solve for y:
y = 3(2) -1 = 6-1 = 5
x = 2, y = 5 (2,5)
Answer
Haven't done this for a bit but I think it's 19
Step-by-step explanation:
2 * 2 * 2 = 8
27 - 8 = 19
15x - 10 where x is equal to the number of weeks would respresent the situation above. This is because he gains 15 cards every week and gave ten cards to James once.
If it has only been one week, the expression will be 15 - 10 because 15 × 1 = 15.
I hope this helps!
