Answer:

(a) (5, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The "substitution method" for solving a system of equations requires that you write an expression that can be substituted for a variable in one or more of the other equations in the system.

<h3>Expression to substitute</h3>

The given equations are ...

y = x -8
2x +3y = 1

We notice the first equation gives an expression for y. This is exactly what we want to substitute for y in the second equation.

<h3>Substitution</h3>

When the expression (x-8) is substituted for y in the second equation, you get ...

2x +3(x -8) = 1

This simplifies to ...

5x -24 = 1

<h3>Solution</h3>

This 2-step equation can now be solved in the usual way:

5x = 25 . . . . . . add 24 to isolate the variable term

x = 25/5 = 5 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

Note that we now know what the correct answer choice is.

Using the expression for y, we find ...

y = x -8 = 5 -8 = -3

The solution is (x, y) = (5, -3).

The attached graph confirms this solution.

Answer:

A/( 1+rt) = P

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P ( 1+rt)

Divide each side by ( 1+rt)

A/( 1+rt) = P ( 1+rt)/(1+rt)

A/( 1+rt) = P

Monique drew a square and inscribed circle on a sheet of paper, as shown below

Irina-Kira [14]

If you know the area of the square is 256 and the area of the circle is 200.96 you subtract 200.96 from 256 and you get 55.04 is the area of the square that is not covered by the circle. so 55.04/256 because that will give you the percent of the area that is outside that circle but inside the square and you get .215 or 21.50%

Jahmal has p pairs of shoes. Kyle has one less than five times as many pairs of shoes as Jahmal. What expression represents the

rewona [7]

Problem 1

Jahmal has p pairs of shoes.: p

Kyle has one less than five times as many pairs of shoes as Jahmal.: 5p - 1

Total: p + 5p - 1 = 6p - 1

Answer: 6p - 1

Problem 2

The problem gives the original price as g. there is no s mentioned in the problem, so I don't see how you can express the higher price in terms of s. Of course, it could be that the original price is s, not g, so then just replace g with s in my answer.

The new price is g plus 15% of g.

g + 15% of g =

= g + 0.15g

= 1.15g

Answer: 1.15g

Problem 3

One package of markers costs m. 7 packages of markers cost 7m. Now you need to add 9% of 7m to 7m. If you consider 7m to be 100%, if you add 9% to 100%, you get 109%, so you need to express 109% of 7m. To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number. To find 109% of 7m, multiply 109% by 7m.

109% * 7m = 1.09 * 7m = 7.63m

Answer: 7.63m

Problem 4

She earns $2.15 per hour and works 10 hours.

$2.15/hour * 10 hours = $21.50

From her salary, she earns $21.50 for the 10-hour shift.

Her customer receipts totaled r, and she earns 20% of r in addition to her salary. 20% of r = 0.2r. She earns $21.50 + 0.2r

Answer: $21.50 + 0.2r
