14-4x=2y
divide both sides by 2
7-2x=y
subsitute 7-2x for y
7-2x+2x=7
add like terms
7=7
true
therefor these 2 equations are the same and there are an infinite number of equations
answer is C
Answer: 4 Cups
I think in order to solve this, you would need to add up the fractions that they used. So it would be,

The inverse of this function is f^-1(x)=x/9
We can wrap 12 presents. multiply the number of yards by the feet.
Let s represent the length of any one side of the original square. The longer side of the resulting rectangle is s + 9 and the shorter side s - 2.
The area of this rectangle is (s+9)(s-2) = 60 in^2.
This is a quadratic equation and can be solved using various methods. Let's rewrite this equation in standard form: s^2 + 7s - 18 = 60, or:
s^2 + 7s - 78 = 0. This factors as follows: (s+13)(s-6)=0, so that s = -13 and s= 6. Discard s = -13, since the side length cannot be negative. Then s = 6, and the area of the original square was 36 in^2.
