Looking at this, I think the easiest (personally) way to solve it would be using the Substitution method.
Meaning we have to rearrange ONE equation, to make ONE variable ( x or y) the subject.
(1)  2.5x + y = -2
(2)  3x +2y = 0

The first equation is the easiest to rearrange. Make Y the subject for (1).
Thus,
y = -2.5x - 2
Substitute this into equation (2).
∴ 3x + 2(-2.5x - 2) = 0
Expand and simplify:
3x - 5x - 4 = 0
∴ -2x - 4 = 0
Making x the subject:
-2x = 4
x = -2
From here, we need to substitute x=-2 into equation (1) or (2) to solve for the y-value. I would say the easiest way, would be to rearrange one, to make y the subject, which was what we did earlier.
Thus,
y = -2.5x - 2
y = ((-2.5(-2) -2)
y = 3
(X,Y) x = -2, y = 3
Answer: (-2,3)

I hope you followed through.

Katen [24]
There’s a scientific reason why it’s smart to pack that extra sweater when you’re headed to the mountains. Temperatures drop steadily as altitude increases, at least in the first layer of atmosphere known as the troposphere. Temperature readings in the atmosphere’s other three layers, which are beyond the reach of any mountain peak, also change with increasing altitude, but they change at significantly different rates, and they don't always decrease.

why might Washington have chosen to look the other way on segregation and to appease white Southerners?
Dimas [21]

Answer: So that African Americans could develop in peace.

Explanation:

Booker T. Washington was one of the most famous and powerful African Americans of his time. He founded the Tuskegee Institute which was a higher institution to educate African Americans and tried to educate and sponsor as many black-owned businesses as he could.

In a very iconic speech called the ''Atlanta Compromise'', he told a mainly white audience that African Americans would not oppose segregation or equality if they were given education and due process in legal issues.

It would seem that he believed that so long as Black people advocated for equality and integration, the whites would always be against their development and would treat them unfairly. If they accepted their situation however, he reasoned that the whites may be more inclined to allow black people access to education and fair trials.
