Answer:
x = -4, y = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
simplify the 1st equation by dividing each term by 4 to get:
x + 2y = -1
-5x + 2y = 23
Subtract to get: 6x = -24
x = -4
find 'y': 2y - 5(-4) = 23
2y + 20 = 23
2y = 3
y = 3/2
Answer:
41/35
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
4/7 + 3/5
Put 4/7 + 3/5 over the common denominator 35. 4/7 + 3/5 = (5×4)/35 + (7×3)/35:
(5×4)/35 + (7×3)/35
5×4 = 20:
20/35 + (7×3)/35
7×3 = 21:
20/35 + 21/35
20/35 + 21/35 = (20 + 21)/35:
(20 + 21)/35
