Answer:

\huge\boxed{(2,4)}

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y = 16 ------------------(1)

-5x -2y = 2   ------------------(2)

<u>Multiplying (1) by 5 </u>

5(2x+5y) = 16*5

10x+25y = 80 ----------------(3)

<u>Multiplying (2) by 2</u>

2(-5x-2y) = 2*2

-10x - 4y = 4 -----------------(4)

Adding Eq. (3) and (4)

10x + 25y -10x -4y = 80 + 4

25y - 4y = 84

21y = 84

Dividing both sides by 21

y = 4

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Now, Putting y = 4 in Eq. (1)

2x + 5(4) = 16

2x + 20 = 16

2x = 20 - 16

2x = 4

Dividing both sides by 2

x = 2

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Ordered Pair = (x,y) = (a,b) = (2,4)

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!

On her blueprint, which is 1/20 the size of the actual garden

the width of the garden is 36 inches.

What is the width of the actual garden?

Let width of the actual garden = x

1/20 of x = 36

1/20 * x = 36

x = 36 ÷ 1/20

x = 36 * 20/1

x = 720
