Sagot :

[1] n = -2

       We will convert the words given into a mathematical equation and then solve by isolating the variable. Let n be "a number"

19 decreased by four times a number is 17

19 - four times a number is 17

19 - 4 n is 17

9 - 4n = 17

-

9 - 4n = 17

- 4n = 8

n = -2

[2] x = -1, y = 3, or (-1, 3)

      I will plug the first equation into the second from the system of equations given to us because it already has an isolated variable, y.

2y - 2x = 8

2(2x + 5) - 2x = 8

4x + 10 - 2x = 8

2x = -2

x = -1

      Now, I will plug this value back into the equation and solve for y.

y = 2x + 5

y = 2(-1) + 5

y = -2 + 5

y = 3
