5x + 2y = 7....multiply by -3
-2x + 6y = 9
----------------
-15x - 6y = -21 (result of multiplying by -3)
-2x + 6y = 9
---------------add
-17x = - 12
x = 12/17 or 0.7
5x + 2y = 7
5(12/17) + 2y = 7
60/17 + 2y = 7
2y = 7 - 60/17
2y = 119/17 - 60/17
2y = 59/17
y = 59/17 * 1/2
y = 59/34 or 1.7 when rounded <====
Answer: The required equation is 
Maria can cut 6 sections from the remaining rope.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total length of rope = 7 feet
since 1 feet = 12 inches
Therefore, 7 feet=
Let x be the number of sections.
Since the instructions are to use 34.5 inches of rope to tie a tarp on top the the tent. Then, the remaining rope should be cut 8 1/4 inch sections to tie tent to stakes in the ground.
then the required equation will be

So, maria can cut 6 sections.
