Answer:
25/10 is equal to (20+5)/10, which is also equal to 20/10 + 5/10. 20/10 = 2, and 5/10 = 1/2, so by simplifying, 20/10 + 5/10 = 2 + 1/2 = 2 1/2

Answer:
Solution (-2, 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 17 (1)
5x + 6y = 32 (2)
Using elimination method
Multiply (-2) to the equation (1)
-4x - 6y = -34
Now you have 2 new equations
-4x - 6y = -34
5x + 6y = 32
----------------------------Add
x = -2
Substitute x = -2 into 2x + 3y = 17
2(-2) + 3y = 17
- 4 + 3y = 17
3y = 21
y = 7
Solution (-2, 7)
So, pretend this is your x-axis and y-axis:

(-2,7) • I

I • (2, 5)

TO GET FROM POINT (-2, 7) TO POINT (2, 5), WE MOVE DOWN 2 AND OVER 4, SO THE SLOPE IS -1/2. IF WE FOLLOW THAT SLOPE AND MOVE DOWN 1 AND OVER 2 FROM THE FIRST POINT OF (-2, 7), WE WILL LAND ON A POINT LOCATED AT (0, 6), WHICH WOULD BE THE "Y-INTERCEPT". WE WERE JUST ABLE TO CALCULATE THE SLOPE OF THE LINE AND THEN USE THE SLOPE TO FIND THE INTERCEPT. SO, THE "SLOPE-INTERCEPT" FORM OF THE EQUATION FOR THIS LINE IS:
y = -1/2x + 6
TO RE-WRITE THIS IN STANDARD FORM, WE JUST WANT TO MOVE THE X VARIABLE OVER TO THE LEFT WITH THE Y VARIABLE, SO:
y = -1/2x + 6
+1/2x + 1/2x
1/2x + y = 6 .... and that is your answer!
