ANSWER

x=6,y=-2

EXPLANATION

The given equations are:

3x - 2y = 22...(1)

and

2x + 5y = 2...(2)

Make x the subject of the second equation;

2x = 2 - 5y

x = 1 - 2.5y...(3)

Put equation (3) into equation (1).

3(1 - 2.5y) - 2y = 22

3 - 7.5y- 2y = 22

- 7.5y- 2y = 22 - 3

- 9.5y = 19

y =  19 \div  -  \frac{19}{2}

y =  19  \times -  \frac{2}{19}

y =  - 2

Put y=-2 into equation (3) to get,

x = 1 - 2.5( - 2)

x = 1  + 5 = 6

Therefore the solution is

x=6,y=-2

Checking for equation (1)

3(6)- 2( - 2) = 22

18 + 4 = 22

22= 22

This is true.

Checking for equation (2)

2(6) + 5( - 2) = 2

12 - 10 = 2

2 = 2

\boxed { \sqrt{} }CHECKED

A body travels 10 meters during the first 5 seconds of its travel, and it travels a total of 30 meters over the first 10 seconds
meriva
The answer is 4 m/s.

In the first 5 seconds, a body travelled 10 meters. In the first 10 seconds of the travel, the body travelled a total of 30 meters, which means that in the last 5 seconds, it travelled 20 meters (30m + 10m).
The relation of speed (v), distance (d), and time (t) can be expressed as:
v = d/t

We need to calculate the speed of the second 5 seconds of the travel:
d = 20 m (total 30 meters - first 10 meters)
t = 5 s (time from t = 5 seconds to t = 10 seconds)

Thus:
v = 20m / 5s = 4 m/s
