Answer:
x = 15
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
X-4y=7 | ×6 |
-6x-3y=12 | ×1 |
6x - 24y = 42
-6x - 3y = 12
___________+
27y = 54
y = 54/27
y = 2
x - 4y = 7
x - 4(2) = 7
x - 8 = 7
x = 7 + 8
x = 15
Gabby's recipe calls for 3 1/3 pounds of flour. If you divide 3 1/3 by 1/6, you get 5 measuring cups full. (1/3 is 2/6 so you add 2+3)
Answer:
x = -1
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Since it gives you "y", plug in the number given into the equation:</em></u>
y = -6x - 5
1 = -6x - 5
<u><em>Then, add 5 to both sides:</em></u>
1 = -6x - 5
+5 + 5
________
6 = -6x
<em><u>Divide both sides by -6:</u></em>
6 = -6x
-1 = x
So now you have, x = -1 and y = 1
