Solve the following using Substitution method
2x – 5y = -13
3x + 4y = 15


- To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

- Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left-hand side of the equal sign. I'm choosing the 1st equation for now.

- Add 5y to both sides of the equation.


- Multiply
times 5y - 13.

- Substitute
for x in the other equation, 3x + 4y = 15.

- Multiply 3 times
.

- Add
to 4y.

- Add
to both sides of the equation.

- Divide both sides of the equation by 23/2, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

- Substitute 3 for y in
. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.


- Add
to
by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to its lowest terms if possible.

- The system is now solved. The value of x & y will be 1 & 3 respectively.

83-13 = 70
70/2 = 35

Well in this problem we just have to work backwards doing everything opposite of what she did in order to get the final answer.
so she has 39 stamps at this moment. and since she bought nine more stamps lets subtract that value to see what she had before that.
1.) 39 - 9 = 30
now she has 30. but she said that before step one she sold half of them to buy that video game. so she divided her starting number by two. so again we are going to work backwards by multiplying the number by 2:)
2.) 30 x 2 = 60!!
3.) So she started out with 60 stamps
answer is 60:)
hope i helped
Answer:
Given that a beetle has the pattern, 0.098 is the probability that it belongs to the rare subspecies
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of having a pattern in rare subspecies 
Percentage of rare subspecies = 1 % = 0.01
Probability of a beetle with pattern belonging to rare subspecies is
