2) subtract the two equations to erase the y value (since 2y-2y=0) and solve for x, then add them to erase the x value (since -3x+3x=0) and solve for y. ur x values should be -8.5 and 7.5 respectively. i don't know how to do #1

step by srep the problems

1) x+ y=13
22x + 36y =356

2)-3x +2y=8
3x + 2y=8

#1 use substitution. subsitute y with y=13-X, and solve for x.
22X+36(13-X)=356
-14X=-112
x=8
8+y=13
y=5

To solve the first problem, which is to find the values of x and y in the equations:

1) x + y = 13
2) 22x + 36y = 356

We can solve this using substitution.

1) Start by solving the first equation for one variable in terms of the other. Let's solve for y in terms of x.

y = 13 - x

2) Now substitute this value of y into the second equation.

22x + 36(13 - x) = 356

3) Simplify and solve for x.

22x + 468 - 36x = 356

-14x + 468 = 356

-14x = -112

x = -112 / -14

x = 8

4) Now substitute the value of x back into the first equation to solve for y.

x + y = 13

8 + y = 13

y = 13 - 8

y = 5

So the solution to the first problem is x = 8 and y = 5.
