Solve the system of equations by substitution. What is the product of x and y from the solution? 2x + 3y = 12 5x − y = 13

1 answer:

5 0

2x + 3y = 12 (1st)

5x − y = 13 (2nd) ---> y = 5x - 13

Substitute y = 5x - 13 into (1st) equation

2x + 3(5x - 13) = 12

2x + 15x - 39 = 12

17x - 39 = 12

17x = 51

x = 3

substitute x = 7 into y = 5x - 13

y = 5x - 13

y = 5(3) - 13

y = 15 - 13

y = 2

Answer

solution x = 3 and y = 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let y = x - 2 and rearrange making x the subject, that is

y = x - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

y + 2 = x

now change x to $f^{-1}$ (x) and y back to x, thus

$f^{-1}$ (x) = x + 2 → D
