The solution of the system is:

x = 62/7

y = 30/7

<h3>How to solve the system of equations?</h3>

Here we have the system:

4x + 5y = -14

-5x - 8y = 10

To solve it by combining the equations, we need to try to remove one of the variables.

If we take the sum of 5 times the first equation and 4 times the second equation we get:

5*(4x + 5y) + 4*(-5x - 8y) = 5*(-14) + 4*10

If we simplify that we get:

20x  + 25y - 20x - 32y = -30

-7y = -30

Now we can solve that for y:

y = -30/-7 = 30/7

Now to get the value of x, we can replace the value of y in any of the given equations:

Using the first one:

4x + 5y = -14

x = (-14 - 5y)/4

x = (-14 - 5*30/7)/4 = (-98/7 - 150/7)/4 = 248/28 = 124/14 = 62/7

The solution of the system is:

x = 62/7

y = 30/7

Answer:

Best Buy 30% of 379.99=113.99

379.99-113.99=$266.00

Costco 15% 409.99=61.50

409.99-61.50=348.49

Target 25% of 399.99=99.99

399.99-99.99=300

Best Buy has the best offer.

Determine if the statement is always, sometimes or never true. There are 300 degrees in the sum of the interior angles of a poly
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Never

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula to find the sum of the interior angles, (n-2) * 180, we can work backwards.

300/180 +2 = 11/3 or 3.666. Polygons cannot have decimal sides therefore your answer is never.
