I first found x using the second equation :

-2x+4y=15
-2x = -4y+15
x =2y-7.5

Then, I substituted this value into the OTHER equation :

2x+5y=7
2(2y-7.5)+5y=7
4y-15+5y=7
9y=22
y=2.444

So you have you y value. Now, input this value into any one of the other equations (it doesn't matter which) to find x.

-2x+4y=15
-2x+4(2.444)=15
-2x+9.776=15
-2x=5.224
x=-2.612.

So the solution for this system of functions is (-2.612, 2.444).

Consider the following pair of equations:
Aloiza [94]
Y = 3x + 3 this is equation 1
y = x -1 this is equation 2
since equation 1 and 2 already defined y in terms of x, we're just gonna substitute y into the other equation. as 2 is shorter I'm going with that today
x - 1 = 3x +3
-1 - 3 = 3x - x
-4 = 2x
x = -2
now we've got x just sub it in equation 2
y = -2 -1
y = -3
so the answer is (-2,-3)

ivann1987 [24]
7+(-9)+6+(-10)+(-13)+(-5)=
7-9+6-10-13-5=
-24

mean is the sum of all the numbers divided by the total number of numbers within the data.

-24÷6=-4

The mean is -4.
