m - 9 = 42
42 is our final answer so that should be by itself.
If something is being decreased by 9, that means that we are taking away 9 from something so it should be m - 9.
Answer:
She pays $15.74
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 425 by 27
7x-y=9
3x-y=5 (multiply by -1 both sides of the equation)
7x-y=9
-3x+y=-5 (now add both equations)
7x-3x-y+y=4
4x=4 (divide by 4 both sides of the equation)
x=1
y=3x-5=3×1-5=-2
y= -2
answer: x=1, y=-2
Yes it is equivalent.Good luck
