\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}

Solve the following using Substitution method

2x – 5y = -13

3x + 4y = 15

\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}

\left. \begin{array}  { l  }  { 2 x - 5 y = - 13 } \\ { 3 x + 4 y = 15 } \end{array} \right.

  • To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

2x-5y=-13, \: 3x+4y=15

  • Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left-hand side of the equal sign. I'm choosing the 1st equation for now.

2x-5y=-13

  • Add 5y to both sides of the equation.

2x=5y-13

  • Divide both sides by 2.

x=\frac{1}{2}\left(5y-13\right)  \\

  • Multiply \frac{1}{2}\\ times 5y - 13.

x=\frac{5}{2}y-\frac{13}{2}  \\

  • Substitute \frac{5y-13}{2}\\ for x in the other equation, 3x + 4y = 15.

3\left(\frac{5}{2}y-\frac{13}{2}\right)+4y=15  \\

  • Multiply 3 times \frac{5y-13}{2}\\.

\frac{15}{2}y-\frac{39}{2}+4y=15  \\

  • Add \frac{15y}{2} \\ to 4y.

\frac{23}{2}y-\frac{39}{2}=15  \\

  • Add \frac{39}{2}\\ to both sides of the equation.

\frac{23}{2}y=\frac{69}{2}  \\

  • Divide both sides of the equation by 23/2, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

\large \underline{ \underline{ \sf \: y=3 }}

  • Substitute 3 for y in x=\frac{5}{2}y-\frac{13}{2}\\. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.

x=\frac{5}{2}\times 3-\frac{13}{2}  \\

  • Multiply 5/2 times 3.

x=\frac{15-13}{2}  \\

  • Add -\frac{13}{2}\\ to \frac{15}{2}\\ by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to its lowest terms if possible.

\large\underline{ \underline{ \sf \: x=1 }}

  • The system is now solved. The value of x & y will be 1 & 3 respectively.

\huge\boxed{  \boxed{\bf \: x=1, \: y=3 }}

The width of a rectangle is 3.4 feet. The perimeter is 12.6 feet what is the length
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

the answer is 2.90

Step-by-step explanation:

Picture a rectangle, if one side is 3.4 then the other side 3.4. Add those two togerther gives you 6.8. Now you can subtract 6.8 from the perimeter which is 12.6 then that gives you 5.8. Then you split the 5.8 which give you 2.90 which is the length of the rectangle. So if you label all the sides of the rectangle like this 3.4 + 3.4 + 2.90 + 2.90 = 12.6
