Answer:

12 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

8-1/2+5-1/8

8+5  -1/2 - 1/8

Lets get a common denominator of 8

8+5 - 1/2 *4/4 - 1/8

8+5 - 4/8 - 1/8

Combine the whole numbers and the fractions

13 -5/8

Now we need to borrow from the whole number

12 + 1 - 5/8

12 + 8/8 -5/8

12 +3/8

12 3/8

Use substitution to solve the following system of equations. What is the value of y? {3x+2y=12{5x−y=7 A) y = -3B) y = 3C) y = -2
Vlad [161]

<em>Answer</em>

B) y = 3

<em>Step-by-step explanation</em>

Given the system of equations:

\begin{gathered} 3x+2y=12\text{ \lparen eq. 1\rparen} \\ 5x-y=7\text{ \lparen eq. 2\rparen} \end{gathered}

Isolating x from equation 1:

\begin{gathered} 3x+2y-2y=12-2y \\ 3x=12-2y \\ \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{12-2y}{3} \\ x=\frac{12}{3}-\frac{2}{3}y \\ x=4-\frac{2}{3}y\text{ \lparen eq. 3\rparen} \end{gathered}

Substituting equation 3 into equation 2 and solving for y:

\begin{gathered} 5(4-\frac{2}{3}y)-y=7 \\ 5\cdot4-5\cdot\frac{2}{3}y-y=7 \\ 20-\frac{10}{3}y-y=7 \\ 20-\frac{13}{3}y=7 \\ 20-\frac{13}{3}y-20=7-20 \\ -\frac{13}{3}y=-13 \\ (-\frac{3}{13})\cdot-\frac{13}{3}y=(-\frac{3}{13})\cdot-13 \\ y=3 \end{gathered}
