2x + 5y = -24
3x - 5y = 14
Solve by elimination
y and x

x = -2

y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The way systems of equations  work is that you have to substitute to solve for a variable *(only one of the 2 ways to figure this out)*

so, we will use addition property of equality in a form to add the two equations together, since +5y and -5y added together will cancel out.

that would leave

5x = -10

divide both sides by 5

x = -2

Now that we know x = -2, we can plug in -2 into one of the equations to find y.

2 ( -2)  + 5y = -24

-4 + 5y = -24

-4 + 4 + 5y = -24 + 4

5y = -20

y = -4

x = -2

y = -4

24

step-by-step explanation:

the graph shows 30% of students walk. 80 students were questioned, so the number that said they walk is

30% × 80 = 0.30 × 80 = 24

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
