SOLUTION
Write out the equation

To solve this system of equation, the aprropriate method will be substitution
Substitute the expression for y into the second equation for y, we have

Expand the paranthesis we have

Divide both sides by 4, we have

Since the value of x has been obtained, we substitute into the first equation

Therefore
x = -3, y= -4
Answer:
13/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert these numbers to a mixed fraction.
-5 3/4 => -23/4
-2 1/2 => -5/2
Make them have a common denominator
-5/2 => -10/4
-23/4 can stay the same.
To find the distance between the two numbers, subtract the lesser value from the greater value.
-23/4 is <u>less</u> than -10/4.
(-10 - (-23)) /4
= 13/4
Therefore the distance between -2 1/2 and -5 3/4 on a number line is 13/4.
