Since y = 5x-1, we can fill it into 3x + 3y = -3. First, let's look at relating to a simpler equation. Let's say that x + y = 9 and y = 3 + 5. Now, we can fill it in to get that x + (3 + 5) = 9. Now, we know that 3+5 is 8, so x + 8 = 9. Now, x = 1. Likewise, we can do the same. For 3x + 3y = -3, all we need to do is to switch the y in 3x + 3y = -3 with 5x - 1. So it would become 3x + 3(5x - 1) = -3. Now we distribute to get 3x + 15x - 3 = -3. Now add three to both sides to get 3x + 15x = 0. Now simplify to get 18x = 0. Now we know that x = 0. Now fill x into y = 5x - 1. So y = 5(0) - 1. Now we know that y = -1.
To check fill in the answer to 3x + 3y = -3.
3(0) + 3(-1) = -3
0 + (-3) = -3
0 - 3 = -3
-3 = -3
Now that our check is completed we now know that x is 0 and y is -1.
Answer: 1.25 square feet
This converts to the improper fraction 5/4
===========================================================
Explanation:
The area of the triangle on the left is base*height/2 = 0.5*2/2 = 0.5 square feet. Note that 1/2 = 0.5
The area of the triangle on the right side is base*height/2 = 0.2*3/2 = 0.75 square feet. This converts to the fraction 3/4
Add up the two results: 0.5+0.75 = 1.25 square feet
-----------
If you need the answer as an improper fraction, then,
1.25 = 1 + 0.25
1.25 = 1 + 1/4
1.25 = 4/4 + 1/4
1.25 = (4+1)/4
1.25 = 5/4
A rational
B Irrational

The answer to your question is 2/4 which is 1/2
I think is should be (5,0)
