Take -5x + y =13 and rearrange for y:
y=13+5x

Substitute into other equation for y:
-3x+3(13+5x)=3

Multiply out brackets:
-3x+39+15x=3

Simplify:
12x+39=3

Rearrange for x:
12x=-36
x=-3

Substitute back into y=13+5x:
y=13+5(-3)
y=13-15
y=-2

You plan to take $450 u.s. on a trip to south africa. how many rands is this if one u.s. dollar equals 3.70 rands?

Inga [223]

$1 = 3.70 rands

$450 is simply 450 times $1, so multiply the conversion equation above by 450 on both sides.

450 * $1 = 450 * 3.70 rands

$450 = 1665 rands
