Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
4x - 5y = 18 → (1)
3x - 2y = 10 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by - 4, then adding will eliminate the x- term
12x - 15y = 54 → (3)
- 12x + 8y = - 40 → (4)
Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x, that is
- 7y = 14 ( divide both sides by - 7 )
y = - 2
Substitute y = - 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
4x - 5(- 2) = 18
4x + 10 = 18 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 2
solution is (2, - 2 ) → D
Birmingham and Montgomery both have a state sales tax rate of 4 percent and a local tax rate of 6 percent – although the report notes that part of Birmingham lies in Shelby County, meaning the combined rate is only 9 percent in some parts of the city.
The answer would be −

The associative property of addition is being demonstrated here. The parenthesis are moved around to "associate" or "group" the values into two different pairs.
Note: the associative property of multiplication is very similar and it is
a*(b*c) = (a*b)*c<span />
the length of the line is 2 1/16
