Hey!

Here's how you would solve it with elimination:

-2x + 3y = 7

5x + 8y = -2

Multiply first equation by 5 and the second one by 2:

-10x + 15y = 35

10x + 16y = -4

Add the two equations:

-10x + 15y = 35

10x + 16y = -4

------------------------

31y = 31

y = 1

Plug this back into one of the original equation:

5x + 8y = -2

5x + 8(1) = -2

5x + 8 = -2

5x = -10

x = -2

Now you have your answer:

y = 1

x = -2

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

820 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the rule of three in this scenario since this is a ratio problem with one unknown. To do this we simply multiply the diagonal values and divide by the final value. We know that there are a total of 3280.84 ft in a single kilometer, therefore...

1 km == 3280.84 ft

0.25 == x

(0.25 * 3280.84) / 1 = 820.21

Now we can see that there are 820.21 ft in the 0.25 kilometers. If we round this to the nearest foot we would round down to a total of 820 feet.
