Answer:

x = -2, y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - y = -7

4x + 2y = – 14

Multiply the first equation by 2

2(5x - y) = 2*-7

10x -2y = -14

Add this to the second equation to eliminate y

10x -2y = -14

4x + 2y = – 14

---------------------------

14x = -28

Divide by 14

14x/14 = -28/14

x = -2

Now find y

4x+2y = -14

4*-2 +2y = -14

-8+2y = -14

Add 8 to each side

2y = -6

Divide by 2

2y/2 = -6/2

y = -3

Answer:

\boxed{\sf \ \ x=-2, \ y=-3 \  \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

<u>I assume that you want to solve this system of two equations</u>

   (1) 5x - y  = -7

   (2) 4x + 2y = -14

We will multiply (1) by 2 and add to (2) so that we can eliminate the terms in y

2*(1)+(2) gives

   10x - 2y + 4x + 2y = -7*2 -14 = -14 - 14 = -28

   <=>

   14x = - 28 we can divide by 14 both parts

   x = -28/14 = -2

and then we replace x in (1)

   5*(-2)-y=-7

   -10-y=-7 add 7

   -10-y+7=0

   -3-y=0 add y

   -3 = y

which is equivalent to y = -3

do not hesitate if you have any question

How can you rewrite the problem so that the divisor is a whole number?<br> 4.7 divided by 13.6
Olenka [21]
How do I rewrite a problem so that the divisor is a whole number? Move the decimal point enough places to the right to make the divisor a whole number. You must move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places to the right.
4.7 divided by 13.6 is 47/136

A superhero can fly from New York to Los Angeles in 30 minutes. The distance from New York to Los Angeles is approximately 2450
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

So the superhero covers 2450 miles in 30 minutes or 1/2 hour

Thus, he/she will cover (2450 x 2) miles in 1 hour

Therefore the answer is his/her velocity is (2450 x 2) miles/hour = 4900 miles/hour.

Hope this helps!

If the drinks cost $2.32 and you have $13 you can divide 13 by 2.32

13/2.32+ 5.6034...
