Answer 2

We have two things that we want to know, but are not yet known; amount of business class seats and amount of economy class seats.

Since there are two unknowns we need to write two equations.

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

Given the equation 5x + y = 7, which equation below would cause a consistent-independent system?

10x + 2y = 14
-15x - 3y = -6
5x + y = -7
6x + 2y = 7

Answer 9

is this d

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

good job

Answer 12

thank you

Answer 13
