Answer:

c) x = -2; y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 3y = - 23 multiply by 2

8x - 6y = - 46

+ <u>5x + 6y = 20 </u> add the two equations

13x + 0y = -26 divide by 13

x = -2 enter x into either original equation

5(-2) + 6y = 20

-10 + 6y = 20

6y = 30

y = 5

(2) + (2)

=> 8x - 6y = -46 ———(3)

(1) + (3)

=> 5x + 6y + (8x - 6y) = 20 - 46

=> 13x + (6-6)y = -26

=> 13x + 0y = -26

=> 13x = -26

=> x = -26/13

=> x = -2

=> 5(-2) + 6y = 20

=> 6y = 20 + 10

=> 6y = 30

=> y = 5

x = -2, y = 5 => C

Fwam surveyed 540 of the students in his school about their favorite color. students could choose between red and blue. 55% said

Digiron [165]

Answer:

243 students' favorite color is red

Step-by-step explanation:

if 55% of the students said their favorite color was blue, then 45% chose that red was their favorite color

we can get 45% of 540 using a cross-multiplication equation

45% is 45/100

45/100 is to ?/540

the (?) represents the value of students who chose red as their favorite color (we do not know this but we can figure it out using cross-multiplication)

45 times 540 is 24300

24300/100 = 243.

Give brainliest, please!
