13x + 5y = 16
2x - 8y = 20

Multiply the equations;

13x + 5y = 16 [x2]
2x - 8y = 20 [x13]

26x + 20y = 32
26x - 104y = 260

Reverse the signs on one equation;

26x + 20y = 32
-26x + 104y = -260

'-26x' gets cancelled, leaving;

20y = 32
104y = -260

20y + 104y = 124y
32 - 260 = -228

124y = -228

y = -228 / 124

y = -1.84

Substitute in one equation and find 'x'. 

Hope this helped! :)

Find x- and y-intercepts. Write ordered pairs representing the points where the line crosses the axes.y=-2/5x+11/5
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

y-intercept (0,11/5)

x-intercept (11/2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is obtained when the x-coordinate equals 0 (x=0)

so the y-intercept is (0,11/5)

The x-intercept is obtained when the y-coordinate equals 0 (y=0)

In this case

0 = -(2/5)x+11/5---->(2/5)x = 11/5 ----> x=(5*11)/(5*2) = 11/2

So the x-intercept is (11/2,0)

A rectangular yard is fenced in using 319 feet of custom fence Your friends really like the fence and decide to fence in their y
Vsevolod [243]

We have been given that a rectangular yard is fenced in using 319 feet of custom fence Your friends really like the fence and decide to fence in their yard using the same fence.  Their yard is similar but has a scale factor of 8/5 times the size of  yours.

We are asked to find the length of fence that your friends should purchase.

Since the size of your friend's yard is \frac{8}{5} times your yard, so your friend should purchase \frac{8}{5} times the 319 feet.

\text{Length of fence your friend should purchase}=\frac{8}{5}\times 319\text{ ft}

\text{Length of fence your friend should purchase}=8\times 63.8\text{ ft}

\text{Length of fence your friend should purchase}=510.4\text{ ft}

Upon rounding our answer to nearest foot, we will get:

\text{Length of fence your friend should purchase}\approx 510\text{ ft}

Therefore, your friends should purchase 510 feet of fence and option C is the correct choice.
