Answer:
The equations that represent the situation are:
2y+x=5
5x-y=3

Because (4*3) + 3 = 15. Similary find the improper fraction for -2 1/2.
(15/4) / (-5/2) = -3/2
Convert -3/2 into a mixed fraction.
Therefore, -3/2 = -1 1/2.
I think B. Would be the answer
Answer:
x = 4 ± 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - 8x = 3
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 = 3 + 16
(x - 4)² = 19 ( take the square root of both sides )
x - 4 = ±
( add 4 to both sides )
x = 4 ±
