Answer:
x = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
given the 2 equations
3x + 5y = - 13 → (1)
2x - 3y = - 15 → (2)
To eliminate y from the equations we require their coefficients to be equal so that when we add the equations y is eliminated
multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 5
9x + 15y = - 39 → (3)
10x - 15y = - 75 → (4)
add (3) and (4) term by term
(9x + 10x) + (15y - 15y) = (-39 - 75 )
19x = - 114 ( divide both sides by 19 )
x = - 6
To find y substitute x = - 6 into either (1) or (2)
The answer to your question is 0
A fraction that means the same as 2/3 is 4/6.
To find this, you can simply multiple both the numerator and denominator (top and bottom) by any number as long as it's the same number for both top and bottom.
In this case, we used 2 as the number, and multipled it to the top and bottom of 2/3, to get 4/6.

x =65/2 = 32.5
y = 180 - 2(65)
y = 180 - 130
y = 50
