Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of linear equations Negative 4 x + y = 8 and x minus 5 y = 17? (–4, –3) (–4, 3) (–3, –4) (–3, 4)

(–3, –4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given pair of linear equation

-4x+y = 8    

=> y = 8 + 4x (1)

x - 5y = 17  (2)

substituting value of y from equation 1 in equation 2 we have

x - 5(8 + 4x) = 17

=> x - 5*8 -5*4x = 17

=> x - 40 - 20x = 17

=> -40 - 19x = 17

=> -19x = 17+40 = 57

=> x = 57/-19 = -3

Thus, x = -3

y = 8 + 4x = 8 +4(-3) = 8 -12 = -4

Thus, y = -4

Hence, paired solution for given equation is (–3, –4).

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
