R would equal -189, there is step by step in the picture
What do you think and what have you previously learned on the subject?
24 times 2 pencils each student is 48 then you divide by 8 to get the number of packages needed which is 8.
You have to solve the two equations by eliminating x or y
<span>2x+5y=10 </span>
<span>x-3y=1 </span>
<span>Multiply all terms of second equation by two and subtract from first equation, thus eliminating x </span>
<span>2x+5y-2x+6y=10-2 </span>
<span>11y=8 </span>
<span>y=8/11 </span>
<span>x=3y+1=3* 8/11+1=25/11 </span>
<span>11x+11y= 11*25/11+ 11*8/11 </span>
<span>= 25+8=33</span>
