Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The addition method is a good choice in this case since you have x in one equation and -x in the other equation, and x and -x add to zero, eliminating x.

 x - 5.5y = -14

-x + 2.6y = 8.2

Add the equations. x and -x ad to zero, eliminating x. Then solve for y.

-2.9y = -5.8

Divide both sides by -2.9

y = 2

Substitute 2 for y in the first original equation, and solve for x.

x - 5.5y = -14

x - 5.5(2) = -14

x - 11 = -14

x = -3

Solution: x = -3; y = 2

Since the coefficients of y in the two original equations are not opposites, the addition method would not be the best method to use to solve for y first.

The graph shows two lines, A and B.
miss Akunina [59]
Part A: As we have learned when given a pair of equations, we must always find a Point of Intersection....or, in other words...the solution of the lines given to us. As we know there can be one solution, in this case we view the graph; see where they intersect, and realize that the solution to these lines (Point of Intersection) is at (4,4).

Thus, your answer.

The capacity of the mug is 7/6 cups.

<h3>What is the capacity of the mug?</h3>

Given,

A mug is 3/7 full.

The mug contains 1/2 of a cup of water.

Solution:

Let x be the water.

Water the mug has = 3/7 of x

= 3/7x

Since the water in the mug is 1/2 cup,

3/7x = 1/2

x = 1/2 ÷ 3/7

= 1/2 × 7/3

= 7/6

Therefore,

The capacity of the mug is 7/6 cups.
