What values of x and y satisfy `-(13)/(3)x −2y = 7` and `3x + (2)/(5) y = 5` simultaneously? a. x = 3 and y = −10 b. x = −3 and y = −3 c. x = 1 and y = 5 d. x = 3 and y = 10

I like to do this using the substitution method! First, you have to get a variable alone in one of the two equations. Then, you plug in the statement for that variable in the other equation and solve for the other variable. Finally, plug that variable into one of the equations and solve for the missing variable. It looks something like this:

Solve for y in the first equation:

\frac{-13}{3}x-2y= 7 \\ (\frac{-13}{3}x-2y)+\frac{13}{3}x= (7) +\frac{13}{3}x \\ -2y = \frac{13}{3}x + 7 \\ (-2y)/-2 = (\frac{13}{3}x + 7)/-2 \\ y = \frac{-13}{6}x - \frac{7}{2}

Plug in (-13/6)x - (7/2) for y in the second equation:

3x+ \frac{2}{5}y=5 \\ 3x+ \frac{2}{5}(\frac{-13}{6}x - \frac{7}{2})=5

Solve for x:

3x+\frac{2}{5} y=5 \\ [tex]3x+\frac{2}{5} (\frac{-13}{6}x - \frac{7}{2})=5 \\ 3x + \frac{-26}{30}x- \frac{14}{10} =5 \\ \frac{90}{30}x +\frac{-26}{30}x- \frac{42}{30} = \frac{150}{30} \\ \frac{64}{30}x - \frac{42}{30} = \frac{150}{30} \\ (\frac{64}{30}x - \frac{42}{30})+\frac{42}{30} = (\frac{150}{30})+\frac{42}{30} \\ \frac{64}{30}x= \frac{192}{30} \\ (\frac{64}{30}x)*30= (\frac{192}{30})*30 \\ 64x=192 \\ 64x/64 = 192/64 \\ x=3

Plug 3 in for x in the first equation:

\frac{-13}{3}x-2y= 7 \\ \frac{-13}{3}*3-2y= 7

Solve for y:

\frac{-13}{3}*3-2y= 7 \\ -13-2y=7 \\ (-13-2y)+13=(7)+13 \\ -2y=20 \\ (-2y)/-2=(20)/-2 \\ y = -10

For this system of equations, x = 3 and y = -10.

Hope this helps!

hope this .

answer: answer is c!

ok i got to organize the

3/15 and 12/55

3*

aha

3*4 equals 12 but not

a: no

b:

8/24 12/35

no

gautie

it's c

5/18 = 25/90

5*5=25

18*5 = 90

hope that you!

one more happy customer!
