Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy's number: a

Jake's number: j

a = 2j

a = 2 + 3j

2j = 2 + 3j

j = -2

a = 2j = 2(-2) = -4

By solving a system of equations, we will see that Amy's number is -4.

How to find the system of equations?

First, we define the variables:

  • A = Amy's number.
  • J = Jake's number.

From the text, we know that:

A = 2*J

A = 2 + 3*J

This is the system of equations we need to solve.

To do it, we can write:

2*J = 2 + 3*J

Now we solve this for J

-2 = 3*J - 2*J = J

Then Jake's number is -2

And Amy's number is:

A = 2*J = 2*(-2) = -4
