Question

Given the two linear equations 4r - 5 = 17 and 12 - 2s = 2, what is the product of r and s?

Answer 1

$\text{You're solving the equations:}\\\\4r - 5 = 17\\ 12 - 2s = 2\\\\\text{Solve for r:}\\\\4r-5=17\\\\\text{add 5 to both sides}\\\\4r=22\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 4}\\\\\boxed{r=5.5}\\\\\text{Solve for s:}\\\\12 - 2s = 2\\\\\text{Subtract 12 from both sides}\\\\-2s=-10\\\\\text{Divide both sides by -2}$

$\boxed{s=5}$

Answer 2
