-3x - y = -17
4x + 2y = 20
multiply one part of the equation so that we can be able to use the process of elimination.
(-3x - y = -17)2
4x + 2y = 20
Now we have:
-6x -2y = - 34
4x+2y= 20
------------------------
-2x = -14
Divide -2 on both sides.
-2x = -14
/-2 /-2
x = -7.
=============================================
To solve for y, we just have to substitute the value of x to any of the equation given above, that we feel comfortable with. And I'm going to choose this equation: 4x + 2y = 20
4x + 2y = 20
4(-7) + 2y = 20
-28 + 2y = 20
Add 28 on both sides
-28 + 2y = 20
+28 +28
---------------------
2y = 48
/2 /2
y = 24.
The last thing you would do is to check if the answers is correct.
All you have to do is plug in the values of x and y into both equations and see if they equal to one another.
You may have to do this by yourself :P

All i know is that if the radius of a circle is 4 feet, the the diameter is 8 feet. Sorry, I don't know the rest.
To isolate x, we will first subtract 0.8 from both sides.
0.6x + 0.8 = 1.4
-0.8 -0.8
0.6x = 0.6
Now all we have to do is divide both sides by 0.6, because it is the number besides x.
0.6x/0.6 = 0.6/0.6
x = 1
So you get the answer of x = 1.
Answer: The correct option is the third one; y=10(0.13)^x
