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

Answer:

Option (4).

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

Two right triangles ΔXYZ and ΔTUV have been given,

Given:

1). m∠Y = m∠U = 30°                  

2). m∠Z = m∠V = 60°                  

3). m∠X = m∠T = 90°

For congruence of two right triangles, measure of at least one side should be known along with the measure of angles (LA, HA, LL, HL properties of congruence).

Therefore, these triangles may be similar but not congruent.

Option (4) is the correct option.

Hiram raises earthworms. In a square of compost 4 ft by 4 ft, he can have 1000 earthworms. How many earthworms can he have if hi
charle [14.2K]
64,000 I believe. What I did was find the area so 4*4 =16. 1000/16 = 62.5 earthworms per square foot. So if the side is 8 times longer then 8*4= 32 feet per side and to find the area of that it's 32*32 = 1024 feet squared. So 62.5 * 1024 =64,000

At a competition with 8 runners, 2 medals are awarded for first and second
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation :

Since we have given that

Number of medals = 2

Number of runners = 8

We need to find the number of ways to award the medals.

We would use "fundamental theorem of counting" to find the number of ways.

So, number of ways is given by

8 × 7 = 56

Hence, option 'A' is correct.

Junior has a recipe that uses 1 3/4 cups of brown sugar and 3 1/3 cups of flour to make 18 muffins. He has a total of 10 cups of
Furkat [3]

54 muffins because if you take both your given fraction find the nearest common denominator which is 3 4/12 divide the 4 and 12 to get 3 than divide by 0.10 than divided by a whole 10 which got me 3.03 etc.

Round it see how many times it can go into 10 3 times than multiply it by 18.
