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.

Can anyone help me out, if you answer the question right i will give you a brainliest.

Answer:

It's different because the experiment is more accurate as it progresses.

Step-by-step explanation:

You'll notice that the higher the numbers get in the experiment the closer it gets to your solution. The theoretical probability of flipping a coin is about 50% heads and 50% tails, but it doesn't always seem like that in an experiment. The experimental probability from your experimentation so far would be 62% of heads and 38% of tails.

Which number would make this number sentence true?

nlexa [21]

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation: Take 12 and change the -3 to a regular 3.

(12 + 3 = 15.)

Whichever number in the question that’s bigger determines what integer it will have.

The table below shows the surface area y, in square feet, of a shrinking lake in x days:

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Based on the data, the most likely correlation coefficient would be -1.
The slope between 20 and 30 days is -1, and it represents the change in the surface area of the lake per day.
The data represents correlation, not causation.

Since the data would form a perfectly straight line through the points, the correlation coefficient would be -1 for a perfect decreasing fit.
To find the slope, find the change in the surface area between those days, the change in the days, and write it as surface area/days: 80-90=-10; 30-20=10; -10/10=-1
This is not causation because there could be lurking variables we cannot see.

Which set of ordered pairs is not a function?

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer: the last one

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it has a similar number in the x variable. If it didn’t have the same number in the x variable it would be a function.
