Answer: x = 1, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-9x+2y=-13

x= 13/9 + 2/9y

2x-9y=20

2(13/9+2/9y)-9y=20

Substitute y with -2.

x= 13/9+2/9(-2)

After solving you'll see that 1 is a possible solution for x.

Check your answer

-9x+2y=-13

-9x1+2(-2) = -13

2x-9y=20

2x1-9(-2) = 20

-13 = -13

20 = 20

Therefore, x=1 and y=-2

Yuri [45]

3/8 of a lap is 1/32 of the entire race.
x - the number of laps in the race

$\frac{3}{8}=\frac{1}{32}x \\
\frac{3}{8} \times 32=x \\
3 \times 4=x \\
x=12$

There were 12 laps in the race.

perimeter = 2L+2w

from the problem L = 1/5w-2

so perimeter = 2(1/5w-2) +2w

= 2/5w-4 +2w

=12/5w-4

Given the following system of equations: −x + y = 2 2x + 4y = 32 What action was completed to create this new equivalent system

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

you just need to devide by 2 the second equation

Step-by-step explanation:

-x + y = 2 (you leave it as it is)

2x + 4y =32 => 2x/2 +4y/2 = 32/2

=> x + 2y =16

we can devide or multiply in an equation by any number we want, as long as we do it to every term.
