Answer:
what do the answer choices say?
Because 3 2/4 would be the answer when you subtract it and most teachers and/or tests want you to simplify the answer which would be 1/2 because you would divide the numerator and denominator by 2.
Answer:
x =
or 0.706
or 1.735
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2y=7 ----->(eq 1)
- 2x + 6y=9 ----->(eq 2)
Multiply (eq 1) with 3
3×(5x + 2y) = 3×7
15x + 6y = 21 ----->(eq 3)
substract (eq 3) from (eq 2)
- 2x + 6y - (15x + 6y) = 9-21
- 2x + 6y - 15x - 6y = 9-21
- 2x - 15x + 6y - 6y = 9-21
-17x = -12
x = -12 ÷ -17
x = 
put x =
in (eq 1)






Answer: 7.5 cups of sugar.
Step-by-step explanation:
