We have the 2 equations
1- ) 5x-8y=6
2-) -6x-3y=18
multiplying the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 8 then subtracting
1-) 15x-24y=18
2-) -48x-24y=144
-48x-24y=144
(-) 15x-24y=18
-------------------------------------
-63x = 126
x=-2
substituting in equation 1
5(-2)-8y=6
-10-8y=6
-8y=16
y=-2
the soultion is (-2,-2)
Answer:
c) 2(2y+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because when the tables are together there can be 4 people at each table, plus 1 at either end. Whatever equation you have must have +2 in it, to account for the ends of the tables. The number of tables (y) must be multiplied by 4 because there are always 4 people per table. The number of tables is unknown so 4y must be in your equation.
2(2y+1) simplifies to 4y+2, which is the equation we want.
I believe the answer is 249.
I would solve for y on the top one and sub it into the bottom one.
y=-2x+8
(12/5, 16/5)
Independent is x while dependent is y
