Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 5y = 16 ------------------(1)
-5x -2y = 2 ------------------(2)
<u>Multiplying (1) by 5 </u>
5(2x+5y) = 16*5
10x+25y = 80 ----------------(3)
<u>Multiplying (2) by 2</u>
2(-5x-2y) = 2*2
-10x - 4y = 4 -----------------(4)
Adding Eq. (3) and (4)
10x + 25y -10x -4y = 80 + 4
25y - 4y = 84
21y = 84
Dividing both sides by 21
y = 4
![\rule[225]{225}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Crule%5B225%5D%7B225%7D%7B2%7D)
Now, Putting y = 4 in Eq. (1)
2x + 5(4) = 16
2x + 20 = 16
2x = 20 - 16
2x = 4
Dividing both sides by 2
x = 2
![\rule[225]{225}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Crule%5B225%5D%7B225%7D%7B2%7D)
Ordered Pair = (x,y) = (a,b) = (2,4)
![\rule[225]{225}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Crule%5B225%5D%7B225%7D%7B2%7D)
Hope this helped!

Answer: x=7, GA=MR=14
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 21
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Lindsay and Lorraine are trying to match the jump rope world record.
Number of jumps they need to jump together in a row = 48
Lindsay has gotten 14 jumps in a row, and Lorraine has gotten 13.
Total jumps = 14+13=27
Let 'j' be the number of more jumps they need to match the record.
j= Total jumps needed - Total jumps they already gotten
⇒ j= 48-27
⇒ j= 21
Hence, they need 21 more jumps to match the record.
