A. 3x + y = 13 → 15x + 5y = 65
x - 5y = 15 → x - 5y = 15
16x = 80
16 16
x = 5
x - 5y = 15
5 - 5y = 15
- 5 - 5
-5y = 10
-5 -5
y = -2
(x, y) = (5, -2)
b. 6x - y = 14
2x + y = 12
8x = 26
8 8
x = 3¹/₄
6x - y = 14
6(3¹/₄) - y = 14
19¹/₂ - y = 14
- 19¹/₂ - 19¹/₂
-y = -5¹/₂
-1 -1
y = 5¹/₂
(x, y) = (3¹/₄, 5¹/₂)
c. 3x - 4y = 22 → 15x - 20y = 110
2x + 5y = 7 → 8x + 20y = 28
23x = 138
23 23
x = 6
3x - 4y = 22
3(6) - 4y = 22
18 - 4y = 22
- 18 - 18
-4y = 4
-4 -4
y = -1
(x, y) = (6, -1)

Answer:
460 ft^2 of carpet will be replaced
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to find the area of the room and then take away the area of the six bookcases
<u>Area of the room</u>
20*20=400ft^2
35-20=15ft
(15*20)/2=150ft^2
400+150=550ft^2 total room area
<u>Area of bookcases</u>
2.5*6*6=90ft^2 total bookcase area
<u>room area - bookcase area = carpet area</u>
550-90=460ft^2
