Answer:

  17

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression of interest is the difference of the two given expressions.

  (-4x +6y) -(-2x -7y) = (9) -(-8)

  -2x +13y = 17

The value is 17.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You could go to the trouble to solve the two equations for x and y, then compute the value of the expression you want. As we saw above, that is not necessary.

The first step in problem solving is always "look at the given information and how it relates to what you are asked." A little time spent doing that can save a lot of effort in the actual problem solving process.

Round 5,182 to the nearest thousand
user100 [1]

Answer:

5,000

Step-by-step explanation:

When a number is 5 or above, you would round up. When it is below 4 or below, you round down.

Since 5,182 the 1 is below 1, 5 would remain the same.

suter [353]
Linda should use ...
  15 gallons of 80% juice
  5 gallons of 60% juice

_____
Let g represent the number of gallons of 80% juice needed. Then (20-g) is the number of gallons of 60% juice Linda will use. The amount of juice in the mixture can be written as
  0.80g +0.60(20 -g) = 0.75×20
  0.20g = 20(0.75 -0.60) = 20×0.15
  g = 20×0.15/0.20 = 15
The amount of 80% juice needed is 15 gallons, so 5 gallons of 60% juice are needed.
