Choose a method you prefer to solve for a system of linear equations.
2x + 4y = -4
2x-y=6

Elimination

x = 2

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Elimination

2x + 4y = -4

2x - y = 6

Subtract the second equation from the first

5y = -10

Divide both sides by 5

y = -2

Substitute for y = -2 in the second equation

2x - -2 = 6

2x + 2 = 6

subtract 2 from both sides

2x = 4

Divide both sides by 2

x = 2

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
