Okay, so the equations would be:
x + 3y = 24
3y + 5x = 36

Imma use Substitution to solve this:
x = -3y + 24

3y + 5(-3y + 24) = 36
3y - 15y + 120 = 36
-12y + 120 = 36
-12y = -84
y = 7

x = -3(7) + 24
x = -21 + 24
x = 3

So the first number (x) would be 3 and the second number (y) would be 7.

If you can, please leave an explanation so I can learn how to do it rathe than just copying
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Point-Slope: y+1=-5/7(x-5)

Slope Intercept: y=-5/7x+ 2 4/7

Standard: -5x+7y=18

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Slope: -5/7</u>

Point slope is when the equation is in y-y1=m(x-x1) form.

I used the point (5,-1) but it really <u>doesn't matter</u> which one

Substitute it into (x1,y1)

y--1=-5/7(x-5)

y+1=-5/7(x-5) **2 minus signs is equal to 1 plus sign**

Slope-intercept is when the equation is in y=mx+b form.

y=-5/7x+b

To solve for b, plug in one of the points (again, I choose to use (5,-1)

(-1)=-5/7(5)+b

-1=-25/7+b is equal to asking -1=-3 4/7+b

b=2 4/7

Standard form is when it is in Ax+By=C

We'll covert from slope intercept to standard: y=-5/7+ 2 4/7

y=-5/7x+ 2 4/7 is the same as y=(-5/7x+ 18/7)

7y=5x+18 **Multiply both sides by 7, the common denominators**

-5x+7y=18 **Subtract 5x from both sides**

Lets say n is the value of how many people ate with 7 people
7x=n
now substitute

7(3/8)=n
21/8=n
n=2 5/8
