5x+7y=25
5x-2y=-65
subtract both of the equations
5x-5x=0
7y--2y= 7y+2y=9y
25--65=25+65=90
0+9y=90
9y=90
divide both sides by 9 to get y by itself
9y/9=90/9
cross out 9 and 9 which becomes 1*1*y=y
90/9=10
y=10
find x by using the substitution method
5x+7y=25
5x+7(10)=25
5x+70=25
move +70 to the other side
sign changes from +70 to -70
5x+70-70=25-70
5x=-45
divide both sides by 5 to get x by itself
5x/5=-45/5
cross out 5 and 5 then becomes 1*1*x=x
-45/5=-9
x=-9
answer:
(-9,10)
3 3/5 * 5/7
Convert the mixed number into a improper fraction.
18/5 * 5/7
Multiply the numerator(18) by the other numerator(5) while multiplying the denominator(5) by the other denominator(7).
Final Answer: 90/35 or about 2.6 *Both answers are equivalent to each other.
