Answer:

(- 1, - 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + y = - 5 → (1)

2x - 5y = 13 → (2)

Subtracting (1) from (2) term by term will eliminate the x-0 term

0 - 5y - y = 13 - (- 5) , that is

- 6y = 18 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

y = - 3

Substitute y = - 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

2x - 3 = - 5 ( add 3 to both sides )

2x = - 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 1

solution is (- 1, - 3 )

Riley and Erik have earned a total of 135 tokens to buy items in the school store. The ratio of the number of tokens that Riley

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Riley has 72 tokens

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

We have two conditions for the tokens Riley and Erik have earned. Let's call x and y to the number of tokens of Riley and Erik respectively. The first condition states that

$x+y=135$

Solving for y

$y=135-x$

The second condition is that the ratio of the number of tokens that Riley had to the number of tokens that Erik has is 8 to 7. It's written as

$\displaystyle \frac{x}{y}=\frac{8}{7}$

Or equivalently

$7x=8y$

Replacing y from the first equation

$7x=8(135-x)$

Operating

$7x=1080-8x$

Simplifying

$15x=1080$

$\boxed{x=72}$

Riley has 72 tokens
