Answer:
x = 5, y = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
3.5x - 5y = 20
3x + 4y = 13 multiply by 1.25 so the y's match up (you could match x's too)
3.75x + 5y = 16.25
–––––––––––––––––––––––
3.5x - 5y = 20
3.75x +5y = 16.25
7.25x + 0y = 36.25 you can add or subtract here (on this equation you add)
7.25x=36.25
x=5 So now we have x=5 and to find y we can just plug in x into one of the equations
–––––––––––––––––––
3(5) + 4y = 13
15 + 4y = 13
4y = -2
y = -1/2
x = 5, y = -1/2
Then you can plug in both to check your answers.
A) No one in the class studied more then 5 hours
Each year it will gain $10 so it will take 50 years.
