The correct answer is: [B]: " (2, 5) ".
__________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________
-5x + y = -5 ;
-4x + 2y = 2 .
___________________________________________
Consider the first equation:
___________________________
-5x + y = -5 ; ↔ y + (-5x) = -5 ;
↔ y - 5x = -5 ; Add "5x" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve in terms of "y".
_____________________________________________
y - 5x + 5x = -5 + 5x
y = -5 + 5x ; ↔ y = 5x - 5 ;
____________________________________________
Now, take our second equation:
______________________________
-4x + 2y = 2 ; and plug in "(5x - 5)" for "y" ; and solve for "x" :
_____________________________________________________
-4x + 2(5x - 5) = 2 ;
______________________________________________________
Note, 2(5x - 5) = 2(5x) - 2(5) = 10x - 10 ;
__________________________________________
So: -4x + 10x - 10 = 2 ;
On the left-hand side of the equation, combine the "like terms" ;
-4x +10x = 6x ; and rewrite:
6x - 10 = 2 ;
Now, add "10" to each side of the equation:
6x - 10 + 10 = 2 + 10 ;
to get:
6x = 12 ; Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "6" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
6x/6 = 12 / 6 ;
x = 2 ;
_________________________________
Now, take our first given equation; and plug our solved value for "x" ; which is "2" ; and solve for "y" ;
_____________________________________
-5x + y = -5 ;
-5(2) + y = -5 ;
-10 + y = -5 ; ↔
y - 10 = -5 ;
Add "10" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;
y - 10 + 10 = -5 + 10 ;
y = 5 .
_____________________________
So, we have, x = 2 ; and y = 5 .
____________________________
Now, let us check our work by plugging in "2" for "x" and "5" for "y" in BOTH the original first and second equations:
______________________________
first equation:
-5x + y = -5 ;
-5(2) + 5 =? -5?
-10 + 5 =? -5 ? YES!
______________________
second equation:
-4x + 2y = 2 ;
-4(2) + 2(5) =? 2 ?
-8 + 10 =? 2 ? Yes!
_______________________________________________________
So, the answer is:
___________________________________________________________
x = 2 , y = 5 ; or, "(2, 5)" ; which is: "Answer choice: [B] " .

Answer:
(-65)/17
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluate 3/(x - 2) - sqrt(x - 3) where x = 19:
3/(x - 2) - sqrt(x - 3) = 3/(19 - 2) - sqrt(19 - 3)
19 - 3 = 16:
3/(19 - 2) - sqrt(16)
19 - 2 = 17:
3/17 - sqrt(16)
sqrt(16) = sqrt(2^4) = 2^2:
3/17 - 2^2
2^2 = 4:
3/17 - 4
Put 3/17 - 4 over the common denominator 17. 3/17 - 4 = 3/17 + (17 (-4))/17:
3/17 - (4×17)/17
17 (-4) = -68:
3/17 + (-68)/17
3/17 - 68/17 = (3 - 68)/17:
(3 - 68)/17
3 - 68 = -65:
Answer: (-65)/17
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 20 yards of ribbon in total. Need to make 2 yards each.
To find out how many yards you need to cut, divide:
20 / 2 = 10
So, you need to make 10 cuts for the 20 yards.
Hope this helped.
Add 5 on both sides
Make the denominators the same
Multiply 13 on both sides
