Answer:
all work is pictured and shown
ans is b...multiply eqn 1 by -2 and eqn 2 by 3
=》 -6x + 10y = 4...eqn 3
=》 6x + 3y = 9...eqn 4
add eqn 3 and 4...
=》13y = 13
=》y =1 and x = 1
1) 13a=-5
Make a the subject of the formula by dividing both sides by 13(the coefficient of a)
13a/13=-5/13
Therefore a= -0.385
The second one). 12-b= 12.5
You take the 12 to the other side making b subject of the formula (-b in this case)
-b= 12.5-12
-b= 0.5
(You cannot leave b with a negative sign so you will divide both sides by -1 to cancel out the negative sign)
-b/-1= 0.5/-1
Therefore b=-0.5
The third one). -0.1= -10c
You will divide both sides by the coefficient of c(number next to c) which is -10
-0.1/-10= -10c/-10
Hence, c= 0.01
Answer:
The total length of fabric sue buys is 8.5 yards and total cost of the fabric is $42.5 .
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
Sue buys 5 pieces of fabric.

i.e



In the decimal form
Total length of fabric sue buys = 8.5 yards
As given
One yard of the fabric costs $5

= $ 42.5
Therefore the total length of fabric sue buys is 8.5 yards and total cost of the fabric is $42.5 .
You need to use the distance formula


so the distance between points (5,-2) and (-3,8) is

which won't simplify so it stays as is
