The correct answer is: [B]: " (2, 5) ".
__________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________
-5x + y = -5 ;
-4x + 2y = 2 .
___________________________________________
Consider the first equation:
___________________________
-5x + y = -5 ; ↔ y + (-5x) = -5 ;
↔ y - 5x = -5 ; Add "5x" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve in terms of "y".
_____________________________________________
y - 5x + 5x = -5 + 5x
y = -5 + 5x ; ↔ y = 5x - 5 ;
____________________________________________
Now, take our second equation:
______________________________
-4x + 2y = 2 ; and plug in "(5x - 5)" for "y" ; and solve for "x" :
_____________________________________________________
-4x + 2(5x - 5) = 2 ;
______________________________________________________
Note, 2(5x - 5) = 2(5x) - 2(5) = 10x - 10 ;
__________________________________________
So: -4x + 10x - 10 = 2 ;
On the left-hand side of the equation, combine the "like terms" ;
-4x +10x = 6x ; and rewrite:
6x - 10 = 2 ;
Now, add "10" to each side of the equation:
6x - 10 + 10 = 2 + 10 ;
to get:
6x = 12 ; Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "6" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
6x/6 = 12 / 6 ;
x = 2 ;
_________________________________
Now, take our first given equation; and plug our solved value for "x" ; which is "2" ; and solve for "y" ;
_____________________________________
-5x + y = -5 ;
-5(2) + y = -5 ;
-10 + y = -5 ; ↔
y - 10 = -5 ;
Add "10" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;
y - 10 + 10 = -5 + 10 ;
y = 5 .
_____________________________
So, we have, x = 2 ; and y = 5 .
____________________________
Now, let us check our work by plugging in "2" for "x" and "5" for "y" in BOTH the original first and second equations:
______________________________
first equation:
-5x + y = -5 ;
-5(2) + 5 =? -5?
-10 + 5 =? -5 ? YES!
______________________
second equation:
-4x + 2y = 2 ;
-4(2) + 2(5) =? 2 ?
-8 + 10 =? 2 ? Yes!
_______________________________________________________
So, the answer is:
___________________________________________________________
x = 2 , y = 5 ; or, "(2, 5)" ; which is: "Answer choice: [B] " .

Answer:
3.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Ediburgh -------------------------------350 miles-------------------------London
Let the distance traveled by train from Edin to London be "x"
hence the distance traveled by train from London to Edin would be "350-x"
- The rate of Edin to London train is 60
- The rate of London to Edin train is 40
Let the time they meet be"t"
Now, we know distance formula to be D = RT
Where
D is distance
R is rate
and
T is time
<u>Train from Edin to London:</u>
x = 60t
<u>Train from London to Edin:</u>
350-x = 40t
Solving for x:
350 - 40t = x
We put this into first equation:
x = 60t
350 - 40t = 60t
350 = 100t
t = 350/100
t = 3.5
They meet after 3.5 hours
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Square Root - Finding a number that multiplies itself twice into the number within the square root
With this meaning, we need to find a number that multiplies itself into 625.
Finding calculations using exponents will help,
25^2 is equal to 625. Therefore 
We are not finished, as there is another square root right after, empowering the parenthesis, so what number multiplies itself equals 25?
This would be 5, therefore 
is equal to 5.

The first thing we must do for this case is find the scale factor.
We have then that for the larger side of both triangle, the scale factor is:
To find the other two sides, we must apply the scale factor on each side of the triangle FGH.
We have then:
For PQ
For QR
Answer:
You have that the lengths for the other two sides of triangle PQR are:
