-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

D. All real numbers between 111 and 166.5 inclusive.
Answer:
There are approximately 171 families in the sample.
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentile meaning:
When a value V is said to be in the xth percentile of a set, x% of the values in the set are lower than V and (100-x)% of the values in the set are higher than V.
Twenty-four of the families in the sample turned on the television for 23 hours or less for the week. The 14th percentile of the data is 23 hours.
This means that 24 is 14% of the total number of families.
Approximately how many families are in the sample?
Using a rule of three.
24 - 0.14
x - 1
0.14x = 24
x = 24/0.14
x = 171.4
Rounding to the nearest integer
There are approximately 171 families in the sample.
You take the amount of raspberry pieces and divide with the total of taffy pieces
The answer is 0.3

Answer:
= 
+ 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The terms have a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is
10 - 4 = 16 - 10 = 22 - 16 = 6
To obtain the next term add 6 to the previous term ( recursive rule ), thus
= + 6 with a₁ = 4
