Consider that (x, y) is a solution to the system of equations. what is the product of x and y? 2x − 5y = 10 4x + 3y = 7

x = 5/2, y = -1

x*y = 5/2*-1 = -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First we solve the system

2x-5y = 10

    x = 5 + 5y/2

4x + 3y = 7

4(5 + 5y/2) + 3y = 7

20 +10y + 3y = 7

-13 = 13y

y = -1

Now go back to the other equation

2x - 5y = 10

2x - 5(-1) = 10

2x + 5 = 10

2x = 5

x = 5/2

Now we multiply x and y together

7

step-by-step explanation:

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
