<span>2t-7-5t=11
Start by combing like terms:
2-5t=-3t
Now we have:
-3t-7=11
Add 7 to both sides
-3t=18
To isolate t we divide both sides by -3
Final answer:
t=-6 </span>
Eight *(a number) plus 5*(another number) is -13.
translates to:
8(x) + 5(y) = -13
The sum of (the number) and (the other number) is 1.
translates to:
(x) + (y) = 1
We have a system of two equations involving two unknowns: x and y.

We can easily solve the system using Substitution or Elimination. Let's use Elimination this time.
We'll multiply the second equation by -8 so that the x's match up.

When we add the equations together, the x's will fall out of the equation, summing to zero. The 5y and -8y will sum to -3y and the right hand side will sum to -21.

Divide by -3,

Plug back into one of your original equations to find the value of x,

Subtract 7,
The original square has the area (8 in)^2 = 64 in^2.
If we mult. this area by 36, we get the area of a larger square 2304 in^2.
The new side length is sqrt(2304 in^2), or 48. In other words, the original square has side length 8 in, but the 'new' square has side length 48 in.
