x= -1/2 is the answer to your question. Mark as brainliest!!!!
Hiya. I'm going to rewrite the second equation.
By subtracting 5x by both sides, I'll be able to have y by itself:
-y=-5x+13
I'm going to then divide both sides by -1 to get:
y=5x-13.
Then, I'm going to plug that equation into the first equation
3x+2(5x-13)=39
Factor:
3x+10x-26=39
Combine like terms:
13x=65
Divide both sides by 13 to get x by itself to get x=5
Plug this back into the equation of y=5x-13
y=5(5)-13 to get y=12
Answer:
5 feet of wall should be on each side of the painting.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a 3 foot wide painting should be centered on 13 foot wide wall, to determine how many feet should be on each side of the painting, the following calculations must be performed:
(13 - 3) / 2 = X
10/2 = X
5 = X
Therefore, 5 feet of wall should be on each side of the painting.
It’s 2x the size I believe :)
