To solve the system, the best way to do it is by eliminatiion.  Multiply the first equation by -2 and the second equation by 3.  This changes the system to -6x-4y= -73 and 6x+15y= 150.  When you add those together, the x's are eliminated, leaving 11y = 77 and y = 7.  Sub that in to any one of the above equations to solve for x.  6x + 15(77) = 150 and 6x + 105 = 150.  6x = 45 and x=7.5.  If x is the library and y is the coffee cart, then he makes more at the library.  Your choices aren't numbered, but it's the third one.

Select all expressions that represent a correct solution to the equation 6(x+4)=20
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

D. 20 ÷ 6 − 4

E. 1/6(20 − 24)

F. (20−24) ÷ 6

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x + 4) = 20

6(x) + 6(4) = 20

6x + 24 = 20

     - 24  - 24

6x = -4

/6    /6

x = -4/6 or x = -2/3

D. 20 ÷ 6 − 4

20/6 - 4

20/6 - 24/6

-4/6 = -2/3

E. 1/6(20 − 24)

1/6(-4)

-4/6 = -2/3

F. (20 − 24) ÷ 6

- 4 / 6

-4/6 = -2/3

Hope this helps!
