Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define systems

3x + y = 5

-2x - y = -10

Step 2: Solve for x

Elimination

Step 3: Solve for y

Step 4: Graph systems

Check the solution set and graph.

x = -5

y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + y = 5 ⇒ y = 5 - 3x

-2x - y = -10 ⇒ 2x + y = 10

2x + (5 - 3x) = 10

5 - x = 10

x = -5

Substitution of x-value into "y = 5 - 3x":

y = 5  - 3(-5)

y = 5 + 15

y = 20

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
