Answer:

x = 2.38; substitute x to get y

Explanation:

solve for variable x.

move the term containing x to the left and the rest to the right.

add -2y to each side of the equation.

-13 +2y + -2y = 29 + -2y

combine like terms; 2y + -2y = 0

-13x + 0 = 29 + -2y

-13x = 29 + -2y

divide each side by -13 and then simplify;

x = -2.23 + 0.15

x = 2.38
