The system of equations can be solved using linear combination to eliminate one of the variables. 2x − y = −4 → 10x − 5y = −20 3x + 5y = 59 → 3x + 5y = 59 13x = 39 Which equation can replace 3x + 5y = 59 in the original system and still produce the same solution?

Mr. jones determined that the equation y = 98 - 16/5 x could be used to predict his students' unit test scores, based on the number of days, x, a student was absent during the unit. what was the meaning of the y-intercept of the function? (by the way the 16/5 is a )
