Answer:
X= 7
Step-by-step explanation:
x+x+2+3x-6=31 Combine x's
2x+2+3x-6=31 Continue to combine x's
5x+2-6=31 Combine whole numbers
5x-4=31 Add 4 to both sides
5x=35 Divide by 5
x=7
Multply both equations by 2 leaving
x + 2y = 8
x - 2y = -2
Add the equations giving
2x = 6
x = 3
Substitute 3 in the top equation
3 + 2y = 8
2y = -5
y = -2.5
You multiply $15 by 23 which is 345. Then you multiply 345 by 52 for there is 52 in a year. The answer $17940.
