Answer:
(- 1, - 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
x - 3y = 5 → (1)
5x - 2y = - 1 → (2)
Rearrange (1) expressing x in terms of y by adding 3y to both sides
x = 5 + 3y → (3)
Substitute x = 5 + 3y in (2)
5(5 + 3y) - 2y = - 1 ← distribute left side
25 + 15y - 2y = - 1
25 + 13y = - 1 ( subtract 25 from both sides )
13y = - 26 ( divide both sides by 13 )
y = - 2
Substitute y = - 2 in (3) for corresponding value of x
x = 5 + (3 × - 2) = 5 - 6 = - 1
Solution is (- 1, - 2 )

Answer:
2,650 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Amount paid= $848
Rate = 32 cents= $0.32
Hence the amount she purchased is
Quantity= Amount* Rate
Quantity = 848/0.32
Quantity= 2650
3(2x+2)=3x-15
mutiply the bracket by 3
(3)(2x)(3)(2)= 6x+6
6x+6= 3x-15
move 3x to the other side
sign changes from +3x to -3x
6x-3x+6= 3x-3x-15
6x-3x+6= -15
3x+6= -15
move +6 to the other side
sign changes from +6 to -6
3x+6-6= -15-6
3x= -21
divide by 3 for both sides
3x/3= -21/3
x= -7
Answer: x= -7
