Answer:
(x, y) = (-5, -6)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficients of y are the same, so we can eliminate y by subtracting one equation from the other. Here, we choose to subtract the first from the second, so that the coefficient of x ends up positive.
(-5x +5y) -(-6x +5y) = (-5) -(0)
x = -5 . . . . . . simplify
-6(-5) +5y = 0 . . . . . . substitute x into the first equation
6 +y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
y = -6 . . . . . . subtract 6
The solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (-5, -6).
A coefficient multiplies a variable. The 5 is a coefficient.
A variable is a letter that stands for a number. The x is a variable.
A base is a number that is raised to an exponent. The 2 is a base.
An exponent is what you raise a base to. The 3 is an exponent.
Let's solve for x.
5x+15y=12
Step 1: Add -15y to both sides.
5x+15y+−15y=12+−15y
5x=−15y+12
Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

Answer:
x=−3y+12/5
Let's solve for y.
5x+15y=12
Step 1: Add -5x to both sides.
5x+15y+−5x=12+−5x
15y=−5x+12
Step 2: Divide both sides by 15.

45 minutes is equal to 1.5 times 30:
1.5*30=45
so she will also read 22*1.5 pages, which is 22+11=33
so she will read 33 pages
Set each expression from the parentheses equal to 0 separately like so:
Equation 1: x - 4 = 0
Equation 2: -5x + 1 = 0
Now for each equation solve for x!
Equation 1:
x +(- 4 + 4) = 0 + 4
x = 4
Equation 2:
-5x +( 1-1) = 0 - 1
-5x/ -5 = -1 / -5
x = 1/5
Check:
(4 - 4)(-5*4 + 1)
(0) (-20 + 1)
(0) (-19)
0 = 0 -------------------------> correct!
(1/5 - 4)(-5 * 1/5 + 1)
(-19/5)(-1 + 1)
(-19/5)(0)
0 = 0 -------------------------> correct!
smaller x = 1/5
larger x = 4
Hope this helped!
