Answer: (x,y) = (-1, 1)
This means that x = -1 and y = 1
========================================================
Explanation:
The first equation says that y is the same as 2x+3
That allows us to substitute y for 2x+3 in the second equation like so:
2x+5y = 3
2x+5( y ) = 3
2x + 5(2x+3) = 3 .... y replaced with 2x+3
2x+10x+15 = 3
12x+15 = 3
12x = 3-15
12x = -12
x = -12/12
x = -1
Then we'll substitute this into the first equation to find y
y = 2x+3
y = 2(-1) + 3 .... x replaced with -1
y = -2+3
y = 1
Together x = -1 and y = 1 pair up to form the ordered pair solution (x,y) = (-1,1)
If you were to graph y = 2x+3 and 2x+5y=3 on the same xy grid, then you should see that the two lines intersect at the location (-1,1). This is a visual way to determine the solution quickly through use of a graphing calculator.
Answer:
5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The shorter tree is 5 ft shorter, but is growing 1 ft/year faster. It will make up the difference of 5 ft in (5 ft)/(1 ft/year) = 5 years.

Which question are you wanting answered its hard to tell
Answer:
JK=7
Step-by-step explanation:
From the line segment, since J is on it ,it means the line segment is
represented as I J K
from this illustration, we can say that the longest part of the line segment is from I to K
this means that, IJ +JK =IK
making JK the subject,
JK= IK - IJ
but from the question, JK=2x-1 , IK=3x+2 and IJ=3x-5
substituting them in the expression,
2x-1 =3x+2 -(3x-5)
solving for x
2x-1 =3x+2-3x+5
2x-1 =0+7
2x-1 =7
2x=1+7
2x=8
dividing through by 2
2x/2 =8/2
x=4
but the question says we should find the numerical value for JK
but from the line segment,
JK=2x-1
but now we know the value of x to be 2
so substituting it in the formula
JK= 2(4)-1
JK=8-1
JK=7
therefore, the numerical value for JK is 7
