y = -2x - 9 ----------- 1

y = 3x + 1 -------------- 2

Step 1

Substitute y from equation 1 to equation 2.

y = -2x - 9

3x + 1 = -2x - 9

Step 2

Collect like terms

3x + 2x = - 9 - 1

5x = -10

Step 3

Divide through by 5

x = -10/5

x = -2

Step 4

Substitute x in equation 2 to find y.

y = 3x + 1

y = 3(-2) + 1

y = -6 + 1

y = -5

So the solution is (-2, -5)

If the value of "Y" varies directly with "X" and y=-8,when x=20,find "Y"if x=-4
kherson [118]

Answer:

y is 8/5 when x = -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the value of "Y" varies directly with "X", we can write y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

If "y=-8,when x=20," then we can find k:    -8 = 20k, or k = -2/5.

Then y = (-2/5)x.

If x = -4, then y = (-2/5)(-4) = 8/5

y is 8/5 when x = -4.

Does getting a degree mean you can be a detective
inessss [21]
It depends on what kind of degree you have. Being a detective needs training and special classes- you can get degrees for being a bet or a data analysts. It depends on what sort of degree you have.

Radium-226 has a half life of 1622 years. If you start off with a 200
sweet [91]

Answer:

≈23.6 kg left.

Step-by-step explanation:

For determining this, we can simply use an exponential decay equation representing this scenario:

y= a(0.5)^{\frac{t}{h} }

a: the initial amount

t: the amount of time

h: the half life

Now, substitute the numbers into the equation:

y=200(0.5)^{\frac{5000}{1622} }

Now, solve this equation:

y=220(0.5)^{3.08}

Use a calculator to solve for y:

y= 200(0.118)

y≈23.6 kg left.

Find two consecutive integers whose sum is -29
LuckyWell [14K]

Example:

The sum of two consecutive integers is -15.  What is the product of the two integers?

x = 1st consecutive integer

x + 1 = 2nd consecutive integer   {consecutive integers increase by 1}


x + x + 1 = -15   {the sum of two consecutive integers is -15}

2x + 1 = -15   {combined like terms}

2x = -16   {subtracted 1 from each side}

x = -8   {divided each side by 2}

x + 1 = -7   {substituted -8, in for x, into x + 1}


-8 and -7 are the two consecutive integers


Their product is 56.
