I'm not sure what your trying to ask is that the full question
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,
Answer:
8.6
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance between two points we use the formula posted below
All we need to do is figure out what the points are on the graph and plug them into the formula... we end up with
the square root of (5-(-2)^2+(2-(-3)^2 and get the answer of 8.602325267
then we round to the nearest tenth and get 8.6
Answer:
