Solve the following using Substitution method
2x – 5y = -13
3x + 4y = 15


- To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

- Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left-hand side of the equal sign. I'm choosing the 1st equation for now.

- Add 5y to both sides of the equation.


- Multiply
times 5y - 13.

- Substitute
for x in the other equation, 3x + 4y = 15.

- Multiply 3 times
.

- Add
to 4y.

- Add
to both sides of the equation.

- Divide both sides of the equation by 23/2, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

- Substitute 3 for y in
. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.


- Add
to
by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to its lowest terms if possible.

- The system is now solved. The value of x & y will be 1 & 3 respectively.

Answer:
The length of s is 5.1 inches to the nearest tenth of an inch
Step-by-step explanation:
In Δ RST
∵ t is the opposite side to ∠T
∵ r is the opposite side to ∠R
∵ s is the opposite side to ∠S
→ To find s let us use the cosine rule
∴ s² = t² + r² - 2 × t × r × cos∠S
∵ t = 4.1 inches, r = 7.1 inches, and m∠S = 45°
→ Substitute them in the rule above
∴ s² = (4.1)² + (7.1)² - 2 × 4.1 × 7.1 × cos(45°)
∴ s² = 16.81 + 50.41 - 41.1677568
∴ s² = 26.0522432
→ Take √ for both sides
∴ s = 5.10413981
→ Round it to the nearest tenth
∴ s = 5.1 inches
∴ The length of s is 5.1 inches to the nearest tenth of an inch
The slope intercept form is y = -x - 4
To find the slope intercept form given a couple of points, start by finding the slope using the slope equation.
m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-5 - 0)/(1 - -4)
m = -5/5
m = -1
Now we look for the intercept using slope intercept form, our slope and a point.
y = mx + b
0 = -4(-1) + b
0 = 4 + b
-4 = b
Now we can use those two things top model the equation.
y = -x - 4
