<h2>(1, 4)</h2><h2 />
To solve this system by addition, notice that if we add these two equations together, neither one of our variables will cancel out.
In this situation, we need to set things up so that when we do add our two equations together, one of the variables will cancel out.
Notice that we have a 10x in our second equation. if we had a -10x in our first equation, then the x's would cancel out.
To create a -10x, we can multiply the top equation by -2 to get a -10x.
From there, rewriting our equation gives us -10x - 2y = -18.
Now the x's cancel. Just add the equations together
now to get the two-step equation -9y = -36.
Solving from here, <em>y = 4</em>.
Now plug y into either one of the equations
to find that x =1.
So our solution is (1,4).
5.2 < x < 5.5
square
5.2² < x² < 5.5²
27.04 < x² < 30.25
Pick any number for between 27.04 and 30.25 for x², as long as it's not a perfect square. So you could pick 30.
x² = 30
x = √30 → irrational number between 5.2 and 5.5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to follow these rules:
+/+ = +
-/- = +
+/- = -
-/+ = -
so
positive numbers:
+2/+3 ; -2/-3 ; -1/-3 ; +1/+3
negative numbers:
+2/-3 ; -2/+3 ; -1/+3 ; +1/-3
The answer is A. 2
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's simplify both sides of the equation
Now using the Subtraction Property of Equality subtract 5 from both sides

Now using the Division Property of Equality divide both sides by -7
Half, meaning cut it by 1/2 of it's original value.
To cut it in half, we need to divide 27 by 2 to get the answer 13.5.
This makes sense because 14 + 14 = 28, and 13.5 + 13.5 = 27.
