Answer:
x= -3 and y= 0
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+2y=-15
<u>2x-2y=-6 </u>
<u>7x =-21</u>
x= -3
Putting value of x in equation 1
5(-3) +2y=-15
-15+2y= -15
2y= 0
y= 0
This can be solved with the help of matrices
In matrix form the above equations can be written in the form
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&2\\2&-2\/\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D5%262%5C%5C2%26-2%5C%2F%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)

Let
= A = X and = B
Then AX= B
or X= A⁻¹ B
where A⁻¹= adj A/ ║A║ where mod A≠ 0
adj A= ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&-2\\-2&5\/\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-2%26-2%5C%5C-2%265%5C%2F%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
║A║= ( 5*-2- 2*2)= -10-4= -14≠0
X= A⁻¹ B

From here x= -3 and y= 0
Solution Set = [(-3,0)]
No it's smaller. 12.56 is much less than 125.6.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
In the original expression = 37.4 - 54.9 = -17.5
So, we have to solve all the equations but 1 of them has to equal to -17.5
A) -54.9 + (-37.4) = -92.3
Remove parentheses
= -54.9 - 37.4
Subtract the numbers
-92.3
B) 54.9 - 37.4 = 17.5
Since 54.9 is greater than 37.4 just subtract normally
4 14
5 4. 9 < ------- Line up the decimal points like this
- 3 7. 4 <--------- Subtract the decimals
-----------------
1 7 . 5 <---------- This is the final answer to B.
C) 37.4 - (- 54.9) = 92.3
Change the sign to addition
=37.4 + 54.9
Add the numbers normally
54.9
+ 37. 4
--------------
92.3
D) 37.4 + (-54.9) = -17.5
Change the sign to subtraction
= 37.4 - 54.9
Subtract them normally (but as you can see you are subtracting a smaller number from a larger number so heres a trick that you can use switch the equation by putting the larger number in first like this....)
54.9 - 37.4 = 17.5 (REMEMBER the answer is not 17.5 because the original equation of D is reversed 37.4 - 54.9 so in this case your answer should be
- 17.5)
37.4 - 54.9 = -17.5
Your final answer is D because it matches 37.4 - 54.9.
Hope this helps!
If you need to substitute the equation x = y - 1.
If you have another equation, then you would plug in y - 1 into the x value of the equation you would need to substitute into.
Hope this helps
