20 point question
solve the system of equations using the elimination method.

8x + 7y = 89
2x + 5y = 45

explain each step and show how to verify your results.
! i promise brainliest answer to the first correct answer

8x + 7y =89

2x + 5y=45

You want to be able to subtract one away from the other one so you are just left with either x or y. to do this we could multiply the bottom equation by 4

so you would get

8x+7y=89

8x + 20y= 180

Now we can subtract equation 1 from equation 2 so you get

13y=91

this gives you y=7 so to find x we can simply substitute y into an equation;

2x + 5x7=45

2x + 35= 45

2x = 10

x =5

so the final answer is y = 7/ x = 5

he used the algebra tiles correctly.

step-by-step explanation:

given : 3x(2x-1)

solution :

since he used algebra tiles .

armando's solution is the same in the solution shown in figure

as he distributed 2x into x and x and wrote them vertically

and also write   -1 vertically

and 3x into x and x and x and wrote it horizontally

performing the multiplication in the algebra tiles we get

and solving the given expression :

3x(2x-1)

since solving the expression using tiles   and solving the expression algebraically we get the same answer

thus   we can choose the first statement as the answer to this problem which is "he used the algebra tiles correctly".
