The functions shows in the data table is an exponential function.
Answer:
y = -19
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is C
Start by making two equations with the given information
The first would just be their total cans:
E + A = 257
The second would be:
5E - A = 13
Then combine the equations to eliminate one variable.
6E = 270
E = 45
Now plug E back into one of the equations.
45 + A = 257
A = 212

Answer:
Elimination isn't exactly the easiest for this situation. But since the equations are in the same form and not solved for the same variable, I would go with elimination. (If they were solved for the same variable, I would go with substitution.) It would require me to make a manipulation on both equations.
I would multiply first equation by 5 and second equation by -2. The reason I would do this is because the y's would have opposite coefficients and when you add opposites you get 0.
The new set of equations would look like this:
20x+10y=45
-14x-10y=2
But I will slope here since we aren't asked to solve it.
Some texts use the term linear combination instead of elimination. They are the same.
