Answer:

(-9, -3.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

-2.1x + 4y =5.3

2.1x - 5.5y = -0.2

Add both equations (cancelling x variable).

0 + -1.5y = 5.1

Solve for y.

-1.5y = 5.1

(-1.5y)/-1.5 = 5.1/-1.5

y = -3.4

Plug y as -3.4 in the first equation.

-2.1x + 4(-3.4) = 5.3

Solve for x.

-2.1x + -13.6 = 5.3

-2.1x - 13.6 + 13.6 = 5.3 + 13.6

-2.1x = 18.9

(-2.1x)/-2.1 = 18.9/-2.1

x = -9

Answer: (-9, -3.4)

x = -9

y = -3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

-2.1x+4y=5.3

2.1x-5.5y=-0.2

0-1.5y=5.1

-1.5y=5.1

y=-3.4

Then plug in -3.4 for y in the first equation to get x = -9

Hope it helps <3

Steps in multiplying fractions. Remember: finding common denominator is not necessary in multiplying fractions. 
Common denominators are only needed in adding and subtracting fractions.

14/15 * 5/2 

Step 1. Multiply the numerators.
14 * 5 = 70
Step 2. Multiply the denominators
15 * 2 = 30
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
70/30 = 2 10/30 = 2 1/3      

*the fraction 10/30 can still be simplified by dividing both numbers by 10. Hence, 1/3.

Steps in Dividing fractions.

24/60 ÷ 8/15

Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Reciprocal means the reverse of the fraction. Simply swap the places of the numbers.

Reciprocal of 8/15 is 15/8.

Step 2. Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Follow steps in multiplying fractions.

24/60 * 15/8 = (24*15) / (60*8) = 360/480

Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
360/480 = 9 / 12 = 3/4

360 ÷ 40 =   9 ;   9 ÷ 3 = 3
480 ÷ 40 = 12 ; 12 ÷ 3 = 4

M−2 over 4 =5 over 20

m=3
Plug it in and it should work
3-2 =1 over 4 which is the same as 5 over 20 because both as a percentage equal 25% or 1/4 or 0.25 if you put it in a calculator as calculators provide decimal answers
