Solve the following using Substitution method
2x – 5y = -13
3x + 4y = 15


- To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

- Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left-hand side of the equal sign. I'm choosing the 1st equation for now.

- Add 5y to both sides of the equation.


- Multiply
times 5y - 13.

- Substitute
for x in the other equation, 3x + 4y = 15.

- Multiply 3 times
.

- Add
to 4y.

- Add
to both sides of the equation.

- Divide both sides of the equation by 23/2, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

- Substitute 3 for y in
. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.


- Add
to
by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to its lowest terms if possible.

- The system is now solved. The value of x & y will be 1 & 3 respectively.

11.6 rounded to the nearest whole is 12 and 4.1 rounded to the nearest whole is 4 (rule is if the decimal [or number in general] is 4 or lower, the whole stays the same and if the number is 5 or higher, the whole goes up by one). 12+4=16
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
a) only extreme values are used in its calculation.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a data set, the range is given by the subtraction of it's highest value by it's lowest value.
The disadvantage is that it gives a high weight to extreme values, not focusing on central values. So the correct answer is given by option a
