7x + 4y = -8 (1)
-8x - 5y = 13 (2)

(2) + (1)
(-8x-5y)+(7x+4y) = (13)+(-8)
-8x-5y+7x+4y = 5
-x-y = 5 (3)

(3)x4
-4x-4y = 20 (4)

(4) + (1)
(-4x-4y)+(7x+4y) = (20)+(-8)
-4x-4y+7x+4y = 12
3x = 12
x = 4

Sub x=4 into (4)
-4x-4y = 20
-4(4)-4y = 20
-4y = 36
y = -9

Therefore x=4, y=-9.

Answer:

x=4 and y=−9

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Problem:</u>

Solve 7x+4y=−8;−8x−5y=13

<u>Steps:</u>

I will solve your system by substitution.

(You can also solve this system by elimination.)'

7x+4y=−8;−8x−5y=13

Step: Solve 7x+4y=−8 for x:

7x+4y+−4y=−8+−4y(Add -4y to both sides)

7x=−4y−8

7x/7 =  -4y-8/7 (Divide both sides by 7)

x=-4/7y + -8/7

Step: Substitute -4/7y + -8/7 for x in −8x−5y=13:

−8x−5y=13

-8(-4/7y + -8/7) −5y=13

-3/7y + 64/7 =13(Simplify both sides of the equation)

-3/7y + 64/7 + -64/7 = 13 + -64/7 (Add (-64)/7 to both sides)

-3/7y = 27/7

-3/7y/-3/7 = 27/7/-3/7 (Divide both sides by (-3)/7)

y=−9

Step: Substitute −9 for y in x= -4/7y + -8/7:

x = -4/7y + -8/7

x = -4/7 (-9) + -8/7

x=4(Simplify both sides of the equation)

<u>Answer:</u>

x=4 and y=−9

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

mean= 4.68

variance= 1.0296

Step-by-step explanation:

mean= n×p

n=6

p=0.78

mean= 6×(0.78)

           = 4.68

variance= n×p×(1-p)

             = 6 × 0.78×(1-0.78)

              = 1.0296

How much larger would the volume of a prism be if it was increased by a scale factor of 5
jek_recluse [69]
We know that

if  the volume of a prism <span>it was increased by a scale factor of 5
then
</span>the original volume is multiplied by 5*5*5-------> 5³=125

therefore 
the new volume compared with the original is 125 times larger

the distance around a track is 400m. if you take 14 laps around the track what is the total distance you walk? use mental math
Olegator [25]

to do it in mental math: you can ignore the zeroes in 400 for now.

4*14 = 4*10 + 4*4 = 40 + 16 = 56

now add the zeroes back on: 5600m
