Answer: x=-3 y=7.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\displaystyle\\\left \{ {{6x+4y=10\ \ \ \ \ (1)} \atop {12x+y=-29\ \ \ \ (2)}} \right.\\ We\ multiply\ both\ sides\ of\ equation\ (1)\ by\ -2:\\\left \{ {{(-2)*6x+(-2)*4y=(-2)*10} \atop {12x+y=-29}} \right. \\\\\left \{ {{-12x-8y=-20} \atop {12x+y=-29}} \right. \\$ $We\ summarize\ equations\ (1)\ and\ (2):\\-7y=-49\\-7*y=-7*7\\Divide\ both\ sides\ of\ the\ equation\ by\ -7:\\y=7.\\We\ substitute\ the\ value\ of\ y\ into \ equation\ (1):\\6x+4*7=10\\6x+28=10\\6x+28-28=10-28\\6x=-18\\6*x=6*(-3)\\Divide\ both\ sides\ of\ the\ equation\ by\ 6:\\x=-3.$

Question 7 of 25 Which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial? x - 6x-16 O A. X-1 O B. X-8 OC. X-16 O D. x-2

kvasek [131]

Answer:

(x-8) is the factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given trinomial is $x^{2}-6x-16$ .

We need to find the factor of this trinomial.

$x^{2}-6x-16=x^2-8x+2x-16\\\\=x(x-8)+2(x-8)\\\\=(x+2)(x-8)$

The factors of $x^{2}-6x-16$ is (x-2) and (x-8).

So, the factor of $x^{2}-6x-16$ is (x-8). Hence, the correct option is (B).

What is equivalent to 8-8x

MrRissso [65]

8 - 8x is already in its simplest form.

Without knowing the value of x, you cannot find what is equivalent to 8 - 8x, but you can it if is an equation, such as 8 - 8x = 88 (x would be -10).

However, you can still rewrite it as -8x + 8, which is equivalent to 8 - 8x.

bonufazy [111]

Given that S<span>taci must vacuum 1/2 of the house.

If she already has vacuumed 1/3 of her share tonight the part of the house she has vacumed is given by

$\frac{1}{3} \ of \ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{6}$

Therefore, she has vacuumed 1/6 of the house.
