Answer:
Y=7+3x, x=-3, y=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-5y=1. Equation 1
3x-y=-7. Equation 2
-y=-7-3x isolate for y in equation 2
y=7+3x multiplied by -1 to get positive y
3x-5(7+3x)=1 substitute y value of equation 2 (7+3x) into equation 1
3x-35-15x=1
-12x=36
x=-3
solve for y.
3x-5y=1
3(-3)-5y=1
-9-5y=1
-5y=10
y=-2
1 foot and 6 inches is the answer. Subtract the highest from the lowest #.
The two numbers added up is equal to 17 times 2 which is 34
34-11 is 23
