\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 }}

notsponge [240]

To stay within budget, she must use 3.9 gigabytes.

Giving the following information:

Under her cell phone plan, Sofia pays a flat cost of $54.50 per month and $5 per gigabyte. She wants to keep her bill at $ 74 per month.

First, we need to establish the total cost formula:

Total cost= 54.5 + 5*x

x= number of gigabytes

Now, we isolate x:

74= 54.5 + 5x

19.5/5= x

3.9= x

To stay within budget, she must use 3.9 gigabytes

If a=2^3 x 3^7 x 5^3 x 11^4 and b= 2^2 x 3^5 x 7^2 x 11 x 13 , find the following:
Natalka [10]

Answer:

10,692

Step-by-step explanation:

GCF stands for Greatest Common Factor.  

The way to find it is easy once you have the prime decomposition.

Search for common factors in the decomposition and take the least power, then multiply them all.

So, in our case, as the numbers are already broken down into prime factors , we have

GFC(a,b)=2^2.3^5.11=10,692
