y = -3x - 2
5x + 2y = 15
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
<em>Substitution</em>
- Substitute in <em>y</em>: 5x + 2(-3x - 2) = 15
- Distribute 2: 5x - 6x - 4 = 15
- Combine like terms: -x - 4 = 15
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: -x = 19
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = -19
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Define original equation: y = -3x - 2
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: y = -3(-19) - 2
- Multiply: y = 57 - 2
- Subtract: y = 55
An architect plans to make a drawing of the room of a house. The segment LM represents the ceiling of the room. He wants to construct a line passing through Q and perpendicular to side LM to represent a wall of the room. He uses a straightedge and compass to complete some steps of the construction, as shown below:
7 is a prime number, which means it can't be simplified. This fraction is already in simplest form, also because 25 and 7 don't have any common factors.
