Question

solve the system by the elimination method

5x+5y=-7
7x-3y=13

as an ordered pair of fractions

Answer 1

\[(\frac{22}{25},-\frac{57}{25})\]

Answer 2

wanna cheat? i will show you snap way

Answer 3

thats not it

Answer 4

to teach me a lesson?

Answer 5

well actually it is

Answer 6

as a fraction ordered pair?

Answer 7

the answer i sent was right. really. i am not trying to trick you

Answer 8

ordered pair means
\[(x,y)\]

Answer 9

both x and y can be fractions. they do not have to be integers

Answer 10

ok, i will type in your answer

Answer 11

on line class? i will be happy to show you how to do this the snap way if you like

Answer 12

actually two snap ways

Answer 13

it was incorrect

Answer 14

well sorry but it is correct. i am assuming that you want the intersection of the two lines given by the equations
\[5x+5y=-7\]
\[7x-3y=13\] yes?

Answer 15

no

Answer 16

aren't those the equations written above?

Answer 17

solve the system by the elimination method

Answer 18

which is a method for finding the intersection of the two lines. i.e. fining x and y that satisfy both equations.

Answer 19

Wait, I will verify

Answer 20

yes bliss please do

Answer 21

i was told my answer was wrong, and i am not going to fret too much but i am fairly certain they are right

Answer 22

I get 44/50 for x, that's the un-simplified version, so y must be -114/50

Answer 23

so the solution is (44/50, -114/50)

Answer 24

i think 44/50=22/25 yes?

Answer 25

Yes

Answer 26

That's why I said un-simplified

Answer 27

Maybe her program likes un-simplified answers

Answer 28

the correct answer was (22/25,-57/25)

Answer 29

You should post the complete question, like maybe if it wants decimal form, simplified or un-simplified

Answer 30

Satellite had it right then

Answer 31

i did

Answer 32

I was just giving you an alternate solution

Answer 33

@cali that is exactly what i wrote!

Answer 34

lol

Answer 35

look above that it the exact answer i sent you
