<u><em>I am doing this problem assuming that you mean to solve for m and n as x and y do not exist in this system of equations.</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

-4m+2n=6

-4m+n=8

We can see that the coefficient of x for both equations are -4; therefore, elimination with subtraction is possible.

<u>First equation - second equation</u>

n=-2

<u>Then substitude back in to solve for m</u>

-4m+(-2)=8

4m=10

m=5/2

Therefore the answer is

n= - 2

m= 5/2

I hope this helped and if you have any questions please ask.

Jack and Jill were buying water jugs jack bought 2 medium sized jugs and 3 large sized jugs for 150 dollars and Jill bought 4 me
Mademuasel [1]

Answer: the cost of one medium sized jug is $60

the cost of one large sized jug is $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one medium sized jug.

Let y represent the cost of one large sized jug.

Jack bought 2 medium sized jugs and 3 large sized jugs for 150 dollars. This means that

2x + 3y = 150 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Jill bought 4 medium jugs and 12 large jugs for 360 dollars. This means that

4x + 12y = 360 - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 2, it becomes

8x + 12y = 600

8x + 24y = 720

Subtracting, it becomes

- 12y = - 120

y = - 120/ - 12

y = 10

Substituting y = 10 into equation 1, it becomes

2x + 3 × 10 = 150

2x + 30 = 150

2x = 150 - 30 = 120

x = 120/2 = 60

A sporting goods store is having a 15% off sale on all items. Which functions can be used to find the sale price of an item that
asambeis [7]
The answers are: 
<span>ƒ(x) = x - .15x
</span><span>Sale = Original - .15(Original)
</span><span>y = .85x

Let sale price be f(x) and x be the original price. Discount was 15% = 0.15
f(x) = x - 0.15x

If f(x) is sale and x is the original, then:
</span><span>Sale = Original - .15(Original)

Let sale price be y and original price x:
y = x - 0.15x
y = 1 * x - 0.15 * x
y = (1 - 0.15) * x
y = 0.85x</span>

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO WHOEVER ANSWERS FIRST!!!
Alex Ar [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to set one of the equations equal to either x or y. For this, I put x+y=-2 equal to y which would be y=-x-2. Then you plug this in to the other equation for y. This would give you 5x+2(-x-2)=2. When you factor the two into the parenthesis, combine like terms, and keep the x values on ones side and the other numbers on the other side, you get 3x=6
