Answer:
she ate 6 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:one pound is 16 ounces 3\4 of a pound is 12 ounces half of 12 is 6 ounces
> multiply the second equation by 2 and add it to the first equation.
2(-6x - 7y = -10)
-12x -14y = -20
8x + 14y = 4
-12x - 14y = -20
--------------------
- 4x + 0 = - 16
x = -16/-4
x = 4
> use x = 4 in either equation to find y
8(4) + 14y = 4
32 + 14y = 4
14y = 4 - 32
14y = -28
y = -28/14
y = -2
