Add both the equations together to eliminate x
x+5y=8
-x+2y=-1
7y=7
y=1
Now fill in y into the original equation
x+5(1)=8
x+5=8
x=3
Now you can check by filling x and y into the second equation.
-(3)+2(1)=-1
-3+2=-1
-1=-1
So your answer will be (3, 1)

Answer:
it is b
Step-by-step explanation:
you can make it into an improper fraction if you want but there is no need for this problem
steps
1) 10 3/4- 5 1/4
10-5=5
3/4-1/4=2/4 or 1/2
answer:5 1/2 or 5 2/4
(it is better simplified)
Answer:
20.8
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step you need to do is to subtract 11:
52.6 - 11 = 41.6
The second step is to divide it by 2:
41.6 / 2 = 20.8
