Which statement best describes the solution to this system of equations? 3x+y=17 X+2y=49 A. It has no solution.
B. It has infinite solutions.
C. It has a single solution: x= 15, y= 17.
D. It has a single solution: X=-3, y= 26.

D. It has a single solution: X=-3, y= 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + y = 17

x + 2y = 49 ➡ x = 49 - 2y now write this information in the first equation instead of x

3x + y = 17 ➡ 3(49 - 2y) + y = 17

147 - 6y + y = 17 add like terms

147 - 17 = 5y

130 = 5y divide both sides by 5

26 = y we can calculate the value of x using this information

3x + y = 17 ➡ 3x + 26 = 17 subtract 26 from both sides

3x = -9 divide both sides by 3

x = -3

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

30 feet

step-by-step explanation:

that would be 2 1/2 * 12

= 24 + 6

= 30 feet   (answer)
