An unknown number y is 12 more than an unknown number x. The number y is also x less than 17. The equations to find x and y are shown below. y = x + 12
y = −x + 17

Which of the following statements is a correct step to find x and y? (4 points)

a
Multiply the equations to eliminate y.

b
Write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the x-axis.

c
Write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the y-axis.

d
Add the equations to eliminate x.

d because then you can solve for y then use your answer to find x

a) justify

step-by-step explanation:

justifying is just part of everyday life. justify kind of means proof so i think the answer is a) justify.

spinning a 1, 2, or 3. option d.

step-by-step explanation: when spinning a number graph up to 4, and aiming for any number less than 3, that automatically eliminates the number 4. now you have two numbers to spin on that are less than 3, but the number 3 is included in this question because it's no greater of an number than itself. i hope this you : )
