Answer:

Hello! Your answer should be $2448.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we should add 37 to 167 to find out how much money Bill makes in one month. Once we find that to be 204, we must multiply that by however many months he will be saving up for (24 months = 2 years). This will give us the expression 204 x 28, which equals 2448.

So, Bill will save $2448 in 2 years. Hope this helps!

Answer: x=-2 y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

I decided that isolating the y value of the second equation is the best way to start solving.

I divide 3 from both sides to get y= (4-x)/3. With this, I can substitute into the first equation. 4x+3(4-x)/3)=-2.

The multiplying the 3 by the denominator three cancels each other out to make:

4x+4-x=-2.

We subtract 4 on both sides and then subtract x from 4x.

We end up with 3x=-6. Then, we divide both sides by 3.
