Take the second equation and flip it around so the y on the left ends up on the right and the 4x on the right ends up on the left. This makes all negatives positive and all positives negative. -4x + 12 = y

Then add the first equation to the second equation
4x +12 = -7y
-4x + 12 = y this eliminates the x's
24 = - 6y then divide by - 6
- 6 - 6
- 4 = y

So if you know that y = negative 4, you can substitute into either equation. I pick the second one because I am a lazy person.
-y + 12 = 4 x
-(-4) + 12 = 4 x combine your numbers
16 = 4 x then divide by 4
4 = x
So your solution is: x = 4 and y = -4 or this is also written (4, -4)

Does that work for you?

$\begin{cases}4x + 12 = -7y \\ -y + 12 = 4x \end{cases} \\ \\\begin{cases}4x + 7y = -12 \\ -4x-y =-12 \end{cases} \\+ ------- \\6y=-24\ \ /:6\\ \\y=-\frac{24}{6}\\ \\y=-4$

$4x+12=-7y\\ \\ 4x+12=-7*(-4)\\ \\4x=28-12\\ \\4x=16\ \ /:4\\ \\x=\frac{16}{4}\\ \\ x=4 \\ \\ \begin{cases}x=4 \\ y=-4 \end{cases}$

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.

the answer is 18.

$655.61 which is option c

step-by-step explanation:

price of house = $146,000

initial rate = 3.5%

mortgaged paid in this = 3.5 % of $146,000

= $\frac{3.5*146000}{100}$

=$5110

the total years would be = 7

total mortgaged paid = 7 * $5110

=$35770

remaining money = $146000-35770

=$110230

new mortgaged payment = 5 % of 110230

= $\frac{5*110230}{100}$

=$655.61
