Solve the following using Substitution method
2x – 5y = -13
3x + 4y = 15
- To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.
- Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left-hand side of the equal sign. I'm choosing the 1st equation for now.
- Add 5y to both sides of the equation.
- Multiply
times 5y - 13.
- Substitute
for x in the other equation, 3x + 4y = 15.
- Multiply 3 times .
- Add
to 4y.
- Add
to both sides of the equation.
- Divide both sides of the equation by 23/2, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
- Substitute 3 for y in
. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.
- Add
to 
by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to its lowest terms if possible.
- The system is now solved. The value of x & y will be 1 & 3 respectively.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So the two lines before and after the expression means absolute value, or modulus of, knowing this, it means that the answer must always yield positive. So if x-6 is positive, it will stay positive, if x-6 is negative, it will turn positive, therefore it can never yield a negative value.
Now im assuming the second question is meant to be absolute value of x-5 is less than 0, because it makes no sense otherwise.
So now knowing that x-5 is always positive, or 0, but this inequality only wants less than 0, this means there are no solutions for the inequality.
In order to find this you need to find a common denominator. 2/3 and 3/4 common denominator would be 12 and so what you do to the bottom you must do to the top. 2x4 is 8 and 3x3 is 9. that would make 8/12 and 9/12. 8 plus nine is 17 and 12 stays there so the answer is 17/12 which equals 1 and 5/10.
