Answer:
(x, y) = (2, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
I find it easier to solve equations like this by solving for x' = 1/x and y' = 1/y. The equations then become ...
3x' -y' = 13/10
x' +2y' = 9/10
Adding twice the first equation to the second, we get ...
2(3x' -y') +(x' +2y') = 2(13/10) +(9/10)
7x' = 35/10 . . . . . . simplify
x' = 5/10 = 1/2 . . . . divide by 7
Using the first equation to find y', we have ...
y' = 3x' -13/10 = 3(5/10) -13/10 = 2/10 = 1/5
So, the solution is ...
x = 1/x' = 1/(1/2) = 2
y = 1/y' = 1/(1/5) = 5
(x, y) = (2, 5)

The attached graph shows the original equations. There are two points of intersection of the curves, one at (0, 0). Of course, both equations are undefined at that point, so each graph will have a "hole" there.
First, you would need to create an equation for this problem.
=
Next, you would cross multiply.
5x = 8,000
Now, all you would have to do is isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 5.
x = <span>

This is quite simple. We will first add the amount of miles walked together.
3.25+5.5=8.75
Then we will divide 175 by the number of miles walked which in this case is 8.75.
Then we get 20 which is the amount of money that his parents donated for every mile that he walked.
Answer:
-2-2√3, -2+2√3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent one of the numbers. Then the other number is -4-x. We want the product to be -8:
x(-4-x) = -8
-4x -x^2 = -8 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
x^2 +4x = 8 . . . . . . multiply by -1
x^2 +4x +4 = 12 . . . add 4 to complete the square
(x +2)^2 = 12
x +2 = ±√12 = ±2√3
x = -2±2√3
The two numbers are -2-2√3 ≈ -5.4641, and -2+2√3 ≈ 1.4641.
