Find the solution to the systems of equations using the elimination method. 3x + 5y = 2 5x + 8y = 4 And then solve for y or x by using the elimination method

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5y = 2 (times 5) 15x + 25y = 10

5x + 8y = 4 (times 3) 15x + 24y = 12

.

15x + 25y = 10

15x + 24y = 12    

y = -2

.

Substitute the value of y to one of equations

3x + 5y = 2

3x + 5(-2) = 2

3x - 10 = 2

3x = 2 + 10

3x = 12

x = 4

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.
