Answer:
(x, y) = (-2, -3)
WORK:
2x + 4y = -16 =
-2x + 2y = -2 =
(^ the two’s cancel out) =
6y = -18 =
(^ you need to divide 6 on both sides to get just y) =
6y/6 = -18/6 =
(^ the six’s cancel out) =
y = -3 =
(^ now you have to plug this in to get x) =
2x + 4(-3) = -16 =
2x - 12 = -16 =
(^ you need to add 12 on both sides to get rid of it on the left side to add it to -16 on the right side) =
2x = -4 =
2x/2 = -4/2 =
(^ now you divide 2 on both sides again to get just y, and they will cancel out) =
x = -2 =
THEREFORE YOU GET (-2, -3)
I would either way 3, or 4 idk but I don’t understand your question
Answer:
2 1/3 times as far
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of distances is ...
(Monday distance) / (Tuesday distance) = (6 2/9)/(2 2/3)
= (56/9)/(8/3) = (56·3)/(8·9) = 7/3 = 2 1/3
They hiked 2 1/3 times as far on Monday as they did on Tuesday.
