Help! Which choice is the most efficient first step to solve this set of equations?

Substitute 3x - 5 for y in the second equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, to solve the system of linear equations of x and y, the first step would be trying to eliminate x (or y).

Then turn the system into the equation of only y (or x).

Next, try to solve for y (or x).

Then substitute the solved y (or x) into the original system to work out x (or y).

3 options (1 addition, 2 subtractions) do not eliminate x or y (x and y still exist after manipulation).

=> Remaining option relating substitution would be a reasonable choice.

1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 +4^3 = (1+2+3+4)^2

step-by-step explanation:

i am only able to answer the first part. i am not sure about the second part. sorry

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

step-by-step explanation:

formula

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

let the line segment ab with a(x1,y1) and b(x2,y2)

a point(x,y) divide ab in the ratio, 2: 3 the x coordinate can be written as

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

here p=2 and w = 2+3

therefore,

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

similarly y coordinate y = y1 + 2/5(y2 - y1)
