-3x - y = -17
4x + 2y = 20
multiply one part of the equation so that we can be able to use the process of elimination.
(-3x - y = -17)2
4x + 2y = 20
Now we have:
-6x -2y = - 34
4x+2y= 20
------------------------
-2x = -14
Divide -2 on both sides.
-2x = -14
/-2 /-2
x = -7.
=============================================
To solve for y, we just have to substitute the value of x to any of the equation given above, that we feel comfortable with. And I'm going to choose this equation: 4x + 2y = 20
4x + 2y = 20
4(-7) + 2y = 20
-28 + 2y = 20
Add 28 on both sides
-28 + 2y = 20
+28 +28
---------------------
2y = 48
/2 /2
y = 24.
The last thing you would do is to check if the answers is correct.
All you have to do is plug in the values of x and y into both equations and see if they equal to one another.
You may have to do this by yourself :P

1 | 2.5
2 | 5
3 | 7.5
4 | 10
Goes up by 2.5 each time
Not sure if this is what you want
Step-by-step explanation:
equation is y = 2.5x
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
For the condition statement
or equivalent "If p then q"
The rule for Contrapositive is: Negative both statements and interchange them. 
Part (A) If you are taller than 6 ft, then it is unpleasant for you to travel in economy class.
Here p is "you are taller than 6 ft, and q is "it is unpleasant for you to travel in economy class".
It is given that Your contrapositive must not contain explicit references to negation. Assume that the negation of "unpleasant" is "pleasant".
Contrapositive: If it is pleasant for you to travel in economy class then you are not taller than 6 ft then.
Part (B) "If x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0 then xy ≥ 0" where x, y are real numbers.
Here p is "xy≥ 0, and q is "x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0"
The negative of xy≥ 0 is xy<0, x ≥ 0 is x<0 and y ≥ 0 is y<0.
Remember negative means opposite.
Contrapositive: If xy < 0 then x<0 and y<0.
