4x+5y=-13;5x-2y=-8 solve elimination method Step by step

1 answer:

8 0

4x + 5y = -13
2(4x + 5y) = 2(-13)
8x + 10y = -26 (equation 1)

5x - 2y = -8
5(5x - 2y) = 5(-8)
25x - 10y = -40 (equation 2)

equation 1 + equation 2,
(8x + 10y) + (25x - 10y) = (-26) + (-40)
8x + 10y + 25x - 10y = -26 + -40
33x = -66
x = -2

substitute x = -2 into equation 1,
8x + 10y = -26
8(-2) + 10y = -26
-16 + 10y = -26
10y = -10
y = -1

The values of x and y are -2 and -1 respectively.

This is a 30-60-90 right triangle with the shorter leg having a length of 5.

To find the length of x, we must find the length of the longer leg of the right triangle. To do that, we must multiply the shorter leg by the square root of 3.

$x=5* \sqrt{3} =5 \sqrt{3}$

This is the simplest radical form. Hope this helps! :)
