Answer:

x = 5 , y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2y = 29  ....................(1)

x + 4y = 13   Multiply this equation by -5:-

-5x - 20y = -65.................(2)

Add equations  (1) and (2):-

-18y =  -36

y =  2

Substitute for y in equation (1):-

5x + 2(2) = 29

5x = 25

x = 5

Check the results in the second equation:-

x + 4y = 13

5 + 4(2) = 13  - It checks out.

5x + 2y = 29

x + 4y = 13


First isolate one of the variables in one of the equations.

I will isolate x in the second equation (because it is the easiest to isolate) and plug it into the second equation


x + 4y = 13    Subtract 4y on both sides

x = 13 - 4y


5x + 2y = 29

5(13 - 4y) + 2y = 29    [since x = 13 - 4y, you can plug in (13 - 4y) for x]

Multiply/distribute 5 into (13 - 4y)

65 - 20y + 2y = 29

65 - 18y = 29   Subtract 65 on both sides

-18y = - 36       Divide -18 on both sides

y = 2


Now that you know y, you can plug it into one of the equations to find x

x + 4y = 13

x + 4(2) = 13

x + 8 = 13

x = 5


Your answer is C

MrRa [10]

Answer:

x < -20

Step-by-step explanation:

x / -4  + 14 >20

Subtract 14 from each side

x / -4 +14-14 > 20 -14

x / -4 > 6

Multiply each side by -4, remembering to flip the inequality

x / -4 * -4 < 6 * -4

x < -20
