Its fairly straightforward. Since the bottom equation only has one unknown,x, because y=1.3, you can plug y in and solve for x. Once you find the value of x, you then have the value for two variables, x and y, and again have one unknown coefficient a. To solve for the coefficient you just plug in your y value (1.3) and your x value (which can be rounded to 0.42). Using a little bit of algebra, you can then solve for a which should be a=2.108. I am not sure if your teacher wants you to solve it this way but you could also use the elimination method or substitution method that you would of learned when discussing system of equations. But no matter which way you do it, the math follows the rules. Hope this helps. I’d suggest you solve it yourself to double check my work.

Converse (switch p and q)
If an angle is obtuse, then it measures 128°
This is false (a 127° angle is obtuse, but it does not measure 128°)
_____________________________________________________________
Inverse (negations of p and q)
If an angle does not measure 128°, then it is not obtuse
This is false (a 127° angle does not measure 128°, but it is obtuse)
_____________________________________________________________
Contrapositive (negations of p and q, then switch their places)
If an angle is not obtuse, it does not measure 128°
This is true (any 128° is obtuse; no exceptions)

2/7 because its a part to whole ratio.
