7x + 4y = -8 (1)
-8x - 5y = 13 (2)

(2) + (1)
(-8x-5y)+(7x+4y) = (13)+(-8)
-8x-5y+7x+4y = 5
-x-y = 5 (3)

(3)x4
-4x-4y = 20 (4)

(4) + (1)
(-4x-4y)+(7x+4y) = (20)+(-8)
-4x-4y+7x+4y = 12
3x = 12
x = 4

Sub x=4 into (4)
-4x-4y = 20
-4(4)-4y = 20
-4y = 36
y = -9

Therefore x=4, y=-9.

Answer:

x=4 and y=−9

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Problem:</u>

Solve 7x+4y=−8;−8x−5y=13

<u>Steps:</u>

I will solve your system by substitution.

(You can also solve this system by elimination.)'

7x+4y=−8;−8x−5y=13

Step: Solve 7x+4y=−8 for x:

7x+4y+−4y=−8+−4y(Add -4y to both sides)

7x=−4y−8

7x/7 =  -4y-8/7 (Divide both sides by 7)

x=-4/7y + -8/7

Step: Substitute -4/7y + -8/7 for x in −8x−5y=13:

−8x−5y=13

-8(-4/7y + -8/7) −5y=13

-3/7y + 64/7 =13(Simplify both sides of the equation)

-3/7y + 64/7 + -64/7 = 13 + -64/7 (Add (-64)/7 to both sides)

-3/7y = 27/7

-3/7y/-3/7 = 27/7/-3/7 (Divide both sides by (-3)/7)

y=−9

Step: Substitute −9 for y in x= -4/7y + -8/7:

x = -4/7y + -8/7

x = -4/7 (-9) + -8/7

x=4(Simplify both sides of the equation)

<u>Answer:</u>

x=4 and y=−9

The area of an artist's square canvas can hold 113 square inches of paint. What is the approximate length of one side of the can
xeze [42]
The area of any rectangle is:

A=xy, and a square is just a special rectangle where the two dimensions are equal.  x=y=s, where s is the side length so the area of a square is:

A=s^2  we want to solve for s so

s^2=A

s=√A, and we are told that the area is 113 in^2

s=√113 in

s≈10.63 in (to nearest hundredth of an inch)
