Set up a system of linear equations Two times the smaller of two numbers plus three times the larger number is -2.
Four times the smaller number minus three times the larger number is – 22

-4 ; 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x = largest  ; y= smaller

2y + 3x = -2

4y - 3x = -22

Best method = elimination

sum the the two equations and replace one by the equation found

6y = -24

2y + 3x =-2

solve the first equation for y by dividing the two members by 6

y = -4

substutue -4 at the y of the second equation and solve for x

-8 + 3x = -2

3x = 6

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

option c) graph of line going through 1, 4 and 3, 10

step-by-step explanation:

let y equal to margo's coin collection

let x equal to number of years

at the begining x=0, y=1 → point=(x,y)→point=(0,1)

she adds 3 coins per year, then y=1+3x

at x=1, y=1+3(1)=1+3→y=4→point=(x,y)→point=(1,4)

at x=3, y=1+3(3)=1+9→y=10→point=(x,y)→point=(3,10)

the graph of line going through (1, 4) and (3, 10), then the option c is the correct.
