He point (-3, a) lies on the line y = 5 – 2x.
Give the value of a.

5\16 x 2\5 = 10/80simplify to 1/80

7days is 168 hours in decimal form it is just 168 there is no decimal form for this because it is like 168.0 and there is no number you are dividing it by for it to be a decimal.hope this

So the first thing we do is to multiply the top equation by 3. the reason i want to do this is i notice there will be a 6y on both equations and can possibly add/subtract them. so we get 6y = -3x + 27. adding that and the second equation we get 6x = 27-15 which is 12. divide by 6 and we get 2. ∴ x = 2. substituting 2 into the first equation we get 2y = -2 + 9 which is 7. divide by 2 and we get 7/2. ∴ y = 7/2, x = 2.
