Solve each system by the addition method. x + 2y = -1
5x - 4y = 16
Put your answer in ordered pair (x, y) DECIMAL form.

(x, y) = (2, -1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y = -1

5x - 4y = 16

<=>

(2)x + (2)2y = (2)(-1)

5x - 4y = 16

<=>

2x + 4y = -2

5x - 4y = 16

<=>

7x = 14

<=>

x = 2

(*)x + 2y = -1

=> 2 + 2y = -1

=> 2y = -3

=> y = -1.5

=> (x, y) = (2, -1.5)

on monday rodney ate 1/4th of the sandwich = 3/12

on tuesday he ate 1/3rd of the sandwich = 4/12

therefore in total he has eaten = 3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12

thus we can say that he has eaten 7/12 of the sandwich on monday and tuesday alltogether.
