What is the solution of the system x − 3y = –13 and 5x + 7y = 34? A. `x = (6)/(5)`, y = 4 B. `x = (7)/(2), y = (9)/(2)` C. `x =

Masteriza [31]

For this case we have the following system of equations:

$x-3y = -13\\5x + 7y = 34$

From the first equation we clear "x":

$x = -13 + 3y$

We substitute in the second equation:

$5 (-13 + 3y) + 7y = 34$

We apply distributive property:

$-65 + 15y + 7y = 34$

We add similar terms:

$-65 + 22y = 34$

We add 65 to both sides:

$22y = 34 + 65\\22y = 99$

We divide between 22 on both sides:

$y = \frac {99} {22}\\y = \frac {9} {2}$

We look for the value of the variable "x":

$x = -13 + 3 \frac {9} {2}\\x = -13 + \frac {27} {2}\\x = \frac {-26 + 27} {2}\\x = \frac {1} {2}$

Thus, the solution of the system is:

$(x, y): (\frac {1} {2}, \frac {9} {2})$

ANswer:

$(x, y): (\frac {1} {2}, \frac {9} {2})$

It would take Delia 3 hours longer to re tile their bathroom by herself than it would for kari to retile on her own. If they wor

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

6hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Suppose it took Karl x hours to retile her bathroom,

Then it will take Della 3 hours longer i.e (3+x) hours

If Della and Karl work together or will take them 2 hours

The objective is to determine how long it will take Delia to retile the bathroom alone?

∴

$\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{3+x}= \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{x+3+x}{x(3+x)}= \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{2x+3}{3x+x^2}= \dfrac{1}{2}$

By cross multiplying, we have:

2(2x+3) = 3x+x²

4x + 6 = 3x + x²

3x + x² - 4x - 6

x² - x - 6 = 0

Using quadratic equation

x² -3x +2x - 6 = 0

x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3) = 0

(x +2) (x - 3) = 0

x + 2 = 0 or x - 3 = 0

x = -2 or x = 3

Since we are concerned about the positive integer,

Then, Karl = x = 3 hours while Della which is (3+x) = 3+3 = 6hours
