Hey there!!

We have 2 equations.

... 2x+5y=-55 and y=3x+6

Substitution method:

... 2x+5(3x+6)=-55

... 2x+15x+30=-55

... 17x+30=-55

Subtracting 30 on both sides:

... 17x=-55-30

... 17x=-85

Dividing by 17 on both sides:

... x=-85/17

... x = -5

<em>The value of x is -5. </em>

We have:

... 2x+5y=-55

... 2(-5)+5y=-55

... -10+5y=-55

Adding by 10 on both sides:

... 5y=-55+10

... 5y=-45

Dividing by 5 on both sides:

... y=-9

<em>Hence, the value of 'x' is -5 and the value of 'y' is -9. </em>

Hope my answer helps!

Let: eq 1:2x+5y=-55
eq 2:y=3x+6
by substituting eq 2 in eq 1 we get,
2x+5(3x+6)=-55
2x+15x+30+55=0
17x + 85=0
x=-85/17
x=-5
By substituting x value in eq 2,
we have,
y=3(-5)+6=-15+6=-9

Help algebra word problems a quire of paper consists of 25 sheets, and a ream of paper consists of 500 sheets. how many quires a
Natali5045456 [20]
Good morning from Canada!

What we know:
-quire=25 sheets
-ream=100 sheets

So, we are looking for how many quires can fit into a ream. All we have to do is divide the number of sheets in a ream (100) by the number of sheets in a quire (25) because dividing allows us to see how many times a specific number can go into another number, which is what we are looking for. (How many quires are in a ream).

100/25=4

Therefore 4 quires can fit into a ream.

Hope this helps!
