Ok here we go ..there are plenty of ways to solve such math problems but we will go for the smartest and easiest ..5x+2y=7 -2x+6y=9we rearrange them into the following ..by multiplying the 1st equation by 2 it becomes 10x + 4y = 14we rearrange it and so it becomes 10x = 14 - 4yas for the second equation we multiply it by 5 and rearrange it so it becomes as to the following ..-10x + 30y = 45rearranging so 10x = 30y -45now 10x equals both 14 - 4y and 30y -45so 14 - 4y = 30y -4531 = 26yy= 31/26 = 1.19 or around 1.2so by now we can calculate x easily as -2x+6y=9so 2x = 6y -9 = 6 * 31/26 - 9 = -1.84 then x = - 0.92 or around -0.9best luck!

(08.01)consider the following pair of equations: x + y = −2 y = 2x + 10 if the two equations are graphed, at what point do the lines representing the two equations intersect? (−4, 2) (4, 2) (−2, 4) (2, 4)
Is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis.
