Step-by-step explanation:

$2x - 3y = - 4.....(1) \\ - 5x + 9y = 7.....(2) \\ \\(1) \times 5 \\ 10x - 15y = - 20.....(3) \\ (2) \times 2 \\ - 10x + 18y = 14.....(4) \\ \\ (3) + (4) \\ 10x - 15y - 10x + 18y = - 20 + 14 \\ 3y = - 6 \\ y = - 2 \\ \\ (1) \\ 2x - 3 \times ( - 2) = - 4 \\ 2x + 6 = - 4 \\ 2x = - 10 \\ x = \frac{ - 10}{2} \\ x = - 5$

If you have a spinner with 5 slots, what is the compound probability of spinning an even number, then an odd number? Expressed a

Minchanka [31]

Since the spinner has 5 slots it contains 3 odd and 2 evens,

Odds ⇒ 1, 3, 5

Evens⇒ 2,4

this can be expressed as

$\frac{2}{5} =\frac{x}{100}$ , cross multiply and we get

$5x=200$

$x=40$ %

Which explanation correctly tells whether these ratios are equivalent and why?

Reptile [31]

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

<u>Option A (Yes because 3 x 2 = 6 and 14 x 2 = 28.) is correct.</u>

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

<u>This is because if we simplify 3/6 and 14/28, both of them will get 1/2. This means that only A and C are possible.</u>

=> Option A is correct because 3 x 2 does equal 6 and 14 x 2 does equal 28.
=> Option C is incorrect because 3 x 5 does not equal 14 and 6 x 5 does not equal 28.

Hoped this helped.
