Okay so my test said (using elimination (add or sub) find the solution to the following system of equations. 5x+3y=9 2x -3y=5) and I’m confused

x = 2, y = -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm pretty sure the question is asking for the values of x and y. By finding these values you will need to use elimination.

Equations given:

5x + 3y = 9

2x - 3y = 5

To find x:

5x + 3y + 2x - 3y = 9 + 5  (add to eliminate y to solve for x)

7x = 14

x = 2

To find y:

5(2) + 3y = 9

10 + 3y = 9

3y = -1

y = -1/3

Therefore, x = 2 and y = -1/3

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.
