6.5(2r - s) + 3.7r - 1.25s.....first we distribute the 6.5 thru the parenthesis
13r - 6.5s + 3.7r - 1.25s....now we combine like terms
(13r + 3.7r) = 16.7r
(-6.5s - 1.25s) = -7.75
leaving us with : 16.7r - 7.75s <==
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
When given the following two functions,

One is asked to evaluate the functions for, (f(6)) and (g(-3)). One can do this by substituting the values (6) into the function (f) and (-3) into the function (g). These values will replace the parameter (x).

Simplify,

Now repeat this process for the guncion (g(x)) to evaluate for (g(-3))

Simplify,

Y = 3x + 3
y = x - 1
As you can see, both equations are set to equal y. This means the right sides of each equation are equal, since y is isolated in both equations. So to solve this particular system of equations for x, set the right sides of both equations equal to each other. After you've done that, you can proceed to solve the equation algebraically for the variable, x.
3x + 3 = x - 1
2x + 3 = -1
2x = -4
x = -2
Negative two is the x-value. To find the y-value, substitute -2 for x into either equation and solve algebraically for y.
y = x - 1
y = -2 - 1
y = -3
The final step is to check all work by plugging both x- and y-values back into both equations.
y = 3x + 3
-3 = 3(-2) + 3
-3 = -6 + 3
-3 = -3 -- This is true
y = x - 1
-3 = -2 - 1
-3 = -3 -- This is true.
Answer:
(-2, -3)
The correct answer is 7 :)
Answer:
writing this down numerically gives us
3x+2=5x-1
(x-the number)
to solve...
add 1 to each side
3x+3=5x
subtract 3x from each side
3=2x
2x=3
divide by 2 to get x
x=3/2
x=1.5
