5x+7y=25
5x-2y=-65
subtract both of the equations
5x-5x=0
7y--2y= 7y+2y=9y
25--65=25+65=90
0+9y=90
9y=90
divide both sides by 9 to get y by itself
9y/9=90/9
cross out 9 and 9 which becomes 1*1*y=y
90/9=10
y=10
find x by using the substitution method
5x+7y=25
5x+7(10)=25
5x+70=25
move +70 to the other side
sign changes from +70 to -70
5x+70-70=25-70
5x=-45
divide both sides by 5 to get x by itself
5x/5=-45/5
cross out 5 and 5 then becomes 1*1*x=x
-45/5=-9
x=-9
answer:
(-9,10)
Answer:
4 1/3 inches Smaller piece
16 2/3 inches Larger piece
Step-by-step explanation:
x + (2x + 8) = 21
3x + 8 = 21
3x = 13
x = 13/3
x = 4 1/3 inches Smaller piece
2x + 8 = 8 2/3 + 8
2x + 8 = 16 2/3 inches Larger piece
