Answer:

x = -2, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 5

5x - 2y = -16

In order to find the value of a variable, we must eliminate the other variable by multiplying the equations to get the same coefficient.

We can multiply the first equation by 5 and the second one by 2 to get the same coefficient for x, the equations then become:

10x + 15y = 25

10x - 4y = -32

Now we can subtract:

19y = 57

y = 3

Since we know the value of y, we can substitute it into one of the original equations:

2x + 3(3) = 5

2x + 9 = 5

2x = -4

x = -2

Solve for y. y y —— = —— P-9 P+9

Veronika [31]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting the right side gives ...

$\dfrac{y}{P-9}-\dfrac{y}{P+9}=0\\\\y\left(\dfrac{(P+9)-(P-9)}{P^2-81}\right)=0\\\\y\left(\dfrac{18}{P^2-81}\right)=0\\\\\boxed{y=0}$

The factor multiplying y cannot be zero, so y must be zero.

Given f(x) = 4(x - 8), determine the value of f(10).

Ilya [14]

Answer:

f(10) = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4(x - 8)

Let x = 10

f(10) = 4 ( 10-8)

= 4 ( 2)

= 8

Rule for raising a power to a new power

KiRa [710]

The practical rule would be, times that number, by the result of the first time you multiplied the first number. But, it would all depend by how much your're raising the number by.

For example: $\boxed{4^6}$

We do, $(4*4*4*4*4*4)= \boxed{\bf{4^6}}= 4096$

But, once again, this was an example. This would show and illustrate the rule of "raising a power".
