Question

Okay this my last one can y'all help

Answer 1

a. The solution is (0,2)

b. The first expression will be easier to substitute as in the first expression the variable y is already isolated on one side of the equation so we can easily put 5x+2 in place of y in equation 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

$y = 5x+2\ \ \ \ Eqn1\\12.5x+2.5y = 5\ \ \ \ Eqn2$

a. Solution

Putting y = 5x+2 in equation 2

$12.5x+2.5(5x+2) = 5\\12.5x+12.5x+5 = 5\\25x +5 = 5\\25x = 5-5\\25x = 0\\x = 0$

Putting x = 0 in equation 1

$y = 5(0)+2\\= 0+2 = 2$

Hence,

The solution is (0,2)

b: Reason:

The first expression will be easier to substitute as in the first expression the variable y is already isolated on one side of the equation so we can easily put 5x+2 in place of y in equation 2.
