Y = x-4

2x + y = 5
2x + (x-4) = 5
3x - 4 = 5
3x = 9
x = 3

Substitution is done by replacing a variable for an equation. In this case:

2x+y=5
would be
2x+(x-4)=5 (If you notice, you see that the value of x was replaced in the main equation)

Then you would solve as normal.

2x+x-4=5
3x-4=5
3x=9
x=3

Then we can plug in x for any one of the equations to find y.
y=x-4
y=3-4
y=-1

So the solution is x=3 and y=-1.

As a town gets smaller, the population of its high school decreases by 8% each year. The senior class has 320 students now. In h
Semmy [17]

Answer:

in 13.95 years the senior class will have 100 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

P(h) = p(0.92)^t (equation for exponential change)

P(h) - population of highschool (or senior class) = 100

p - staring amount = 320

t = time in years

100 = 320(0.92)^t

1/3.2 = .92^t (divide both sides by 320)

log(1/3.2, .92) = t (log base 0.92 of 1/3.2 equals t)

13.9497 = t

What is 1 plus 2 plus 3.... plus 200?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

20100

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 200 numbers in this addition problem. To add this, we can do 1 + 200, 2 + 199, 3 + 198 and so on. All of these pairs have a sum of 201 and since there are 200 / 2 = 100 pairs the answer is 201 * 100 = 20100.
