Step-by-step explanation:
 
        
             
        
        
        
5x - y = 3 ------------ (1)
6x - y = 8 ------------ (2)
From (1):
5x - y = 3
y = 5x - 3 ------------ Sub into (2)
6x - (5x - 3) = 8
6x - 5x + 3 = 8
x + 3 = 8
x = 5 ------------------- Sub into (1)
5x - y = 3
5(5) - y = 3
25 - y = 3
y = 25 - 3
y = 22
---------------------------------
Ans: x = 5, y = 22

Answer:
<u>The correct answer is 58 1/2 feet. See below to understand the difference of both methods.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information provided to us for solving the question using both methods:
Area of each student = 4 1/2 square feet
Number of students = 13
2. Let's use the first method to solve the question:
4 1/2 = 9/2 (Improper fraction because the numerator, 9 is bigger than the denominator, 2)
9/2 * 13 = 117/2
<u>117/2 = 58 1/2 square feet</u>
3. Let's use the second method to solve the question:
4 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 (Using addition to rewrite the fraction)
(4 + 1/2) * 13 = (4 * 13) + (1/2 * 13) (Distributive property of the multiplication)
(4 * 13) + (1/2 * 13) = 52 + 13/2 = 52 + 6 1/2 
<u>52 + 6 1/2 = 58 1/2 square feet</u>
