Solve either equation for either variable. Since the second one has y on its own, the easiest choice is to solve that for y.

-5x + y = 13   ⇒   y = 5x + 13

Now substitute this into the other equation to eliminate y and rewrite it entirely in terms of x :

-3x + 3y = 3   ⇒   -3x + 3 (5x + 13) = 3

Simplify and solve for x :

-3x + 15x + 39 = 3

12x = -36

x = -3

Substitute this into either original equation to solve for y. Plugging x = -3 into the first equation would give

-3 (-3) + 3y = 3

9 + 3y = 3

3y = -6

y = -2

So the solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (-3, -2).

5х2-7x-6=0 <br><br> factored form
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

(x - 2)(5x + 3) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

5x² - 7x - 6 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 5 × - 6 = - 30 and sum = - 7

The factors are - 10 and + 3

Use these factors to split the x- term

5x² - 10x + 3x - 6 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

5x(x - 2) + 3(x - 2) = 0 ← factor out (x - 2) from each term

(x - 2)(5x - 3) = 0 ← in factored form
