-5х + Зу = -8
3х - 7y = -3

wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + 3y, you can’t add those together since they aren’t like numbers

3x - 7y, can’t be done either since again, they aren’t like numbers.

like numbers include the same variable or no variable, which means you cant do -5x + 3y but you can to -5x + 3x. you can add those together since both of the numbers have the variable “x” while 3y and 7y have the same variable “y” therefore those can be added together.

since there isn’t a way to add those, both of those answers are not only wrong, but they’re also in simplest form.

d

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.

the first option is the answer.
