What is the solution for 3x + 4y = 10 and 2x + 9y = 20

3x + 4y = 10 


2x + 9y = 20


First, multiply everything in the top equation by 2 and
everything in the second equation by 3


By multiplying, your
equation should look like


6x + 8y = 20


6x + 27y = 60 
now subtract 6x with 6x (which means subtract 8y with 27y and 20 with 60)


By subtracting, your equation should look
like


-19y = -40 divide both
sides by -19


By dividing, your equation should look
like


y = 49/19  which is your
answer for " y "


now plug 40/19 into one of the
equation


By doing that, your equation should look
like


3x + 4 ( 40/19 ) = 10
multiply 40/19 with 4


By multiplying, your equation should
look like


3x + 160/19 = 10
subtract both sides by 160/19


By
subtracting, your equation should look
like


3x = 30/19 now divide
both sides by 3


By dividing, your equation should look
like


x = 10/19 which is your
answer for " x "


So your answer is x = 10/19 
;  y = 40/19

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
