Add both the equations together to eliminate x

x+5y=8
-x+2y=-1

7y=7
y=1

Now fill in y into the original equation

x+5(1)=8
x+5=8
x=3

Now you can check by filling x and y into the second equation.

-(3)+2(1)=-1
-3+2=-1
-1=-1

So your answer will be (3, 1)

By what percent has the rhinoceros weight increased
romanna [79]

let's first off  convert those mixed fractions to improper fractions, then get their difference.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{3}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{10}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 10+1}{10}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{21}{10}} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \cfrac{21}{10}-\cfrac{3}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 10}}{\cfrac{(1)21-(5)3}{10}}\implies \cfrac{21-15}{10}\implies \cfrac{6}{10}\implies \cfrac{3}{5}

now, the original amount, 3/2, if that is the 100%, what is 3/5 off of it in percentage?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2}\\ \frac{3}{2}&100\\\\ \frac{3}{5}&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{3}{2}~~}{\frac{3}{5}}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{3}{2}\cdot \cfrac{5}{3}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{5}{2}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 5x=200\implies x=\cfrac{200}{5}\implies x=40

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 4y = 13 (1)

2x + y = 5 (2)

——————

3x - 4y = 13

4(2x + y = 5) (2) times 4

——————-

3x - 4y = 13

8x + 4y = 20

——————-

11x = 33

x = 33/11

x = 3

Plug x = 3 in (2):

2(3) + y = 5

6 + y = 5

y = 5-6

y = -1

Thus, x = 3 and y = -1
