X + y = 13......x = 13 - y
2x - 3y = 1

2(13 - y) - 3y = 1
26 - 2y - 3y = 1
-2y - 3y = 1 - 26
-5y = -25
y = -25/-5
y = 5

x + y = 13
x + 5 = 13
x = 13 - 5
x = 8

<span>so, x = 8 and y = 5</span>

A square has an area of 289 sq cm. what is the length of one side
MatroZZZ [7]
For this problem you can do it one of two ways. The first way would be simply take the square root because the area of a square is one side squared. The other way using the same rule would be to go up from a reasonable number and square it, if that is not the number you are looking for add 1 to the original number and square it again. if you cannot square and square root in your head, you should be allowed to use a calculator to get the answer or 17 as the length of a side.
