Answer:

B. Add the two equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets solve our system of equations step-by-step

Step 1. Add the two equations

2x – 2y = 5 +

5x + 2y = 9

----------------

7x         = 14

Step 2. Solve for x in the resulting equation

7x = 14

x=\frac{14}{7}

x = 2

Step 3. Replace the value of x in any of the original equations

2x – 2y = 5

2(2) – 2y = 5

4 – 2y = 5

-2y = 5 - 4

-2y = 1

y=-\frac{1}{2}

We can conclude that the correct answer is: B. Add the two equations.

Determine the coordinator of the point<br>of intersection of lines<br>3x-2y=13 and 2y+x+1=0​
finlep [7]

Answer:

(3,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations of line

3x-2y=13

2y+x+1=0​

=> x = -1 -2y

Point of intersection will coordinates where both equation have same value of (x,y)

top get that we have to solve the both equations by using method of substitution of simultaneous equation.

using this value of x in 3x-2y=13, we have

3(-1-2y) -2y = 13

=> -3 -6y-2y = 13

=> -8y = 13+3 = 16

=> y = 16/-8 = -2

x = -1 - 2y = -1 -2(-2) = -1+4= 3

Thus, point of intersection of line is (3,-2)

cups of flour per batch. If she wants to make 2/3

a batch of cookies, how much flour should she use?"

1 1/2 Cups, if she wants to make less than the original recipe, she would need less flour, you have to divide.
