Step-by-step explanation:
a.
simply add both equations
x + y = 2
-3x - y = 5
----------------
-2x + 0 = 7
x = -7/2
x + y = 2
-7/2 + y = 2
y = 2 + 7/2 = 4/2 + 7/2 = 11/2
b.
1/2 x + 2y = -13
x - 4y = 8
first multiply the first equating by 2
x + 4y = -26
x - 4y = 8
--------------------
2x + 0 = -18
x = -18/2 = -9
x - 4y = 8
-9 - 4y = 8
-4y = 17
y = -17/4
Answer:
-14x
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x+-10x =-14x
Answer:
5/8 of a cup
Step-by-step explanation:
What you do is you add 1/2 and 3/4 together.
1/2+3/4=5/4.
Noel used half of 5/4 so you would multiply it by 1/2
5/4*1/2=5/8 is your answer.
