2y + 7x = -5

5y - 7x = 12

x =

y =

x = - 1, y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2y + 7x = - 5 → (1)

5y - 7x = 12 → (2)

Adding the2 equations term by term will eliminate the term in x, that is

7y = 7 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = 1

Substitute y = 1 into either of the 2 equationsand solve for x

Substituting into (1)

2(1) + 7x = - 5

2 + 7x = - 5 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

7x = - 7 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = - 1

solution is x = - 1, y = 1

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24

percentage - 25%

probability - 0.25

we know,

total amount of students in class = 20

total boys = 10

total girls = 10

no of girls who wear glasses = 10/2 = 5

probability of choosing a girl with glasses is =

number of girls wearing glasses/total number of students in the class = 5/20

thus, percentage of selecting a girl wearing glasses will be

= 5/20 × 100

= 5 × 5

25%

therefore,

probability will be 0.25
