<h3>Answer: x-2y = -8</h3>

===========================================

Explanation:

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear out the fraction

y = (1/2)x+4

2y = 2[ (1/2)x + 4 ]

2y = 2*(1/2)x + 2*4

2y = x + 8

Then move the x term over to the left side

2y = x+8

2y-x = 8

-x+2y = 8

Optionally we can multiply both sides by -1

-x+2y = 8

-1*(-x+2y) = -1*8

x-2y = -8

This is in standard form Ax+By = C with A = 1, B = -2, C = -8

The reason why I multiplied both sides by -1 was to make A > 0 which is what some textbooks use as convention. Of course -x+2y = 8 is equally valid too.

Answer : 96

x – y = 16 --------> equation 1

$\frac{1}{8} x +\frac{1}{2} y = 52$

x is the higher grade and y is the lower grade

We solve the first equation for y

x - y = 16

-y = 16 -x ( divide each term by -1)

y = -16 + x

Now substitute y in second equation

$\frac{1}{8} x +\frac{1}{2} ( -16 + x ) = 52$

$\frac{1}{8} x - 8 + \frac{1}{2} x = 52$

$\frac{1}{8} x + \frac{1}{2} x - 8 = 52$

Take common denominator to combine fractions

$\frac{1}{8} x + \frac{4}{8} x -8 = 52$

$\frac{5}{8} x - 8 = 52$

Add 8 on both sides

$\frac{5}{8} x = 60$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{8}{5}$

x = 96

We know x is the higher grade

96 is the higher grade of Jose’s two tests.

Calculate 4 raise to power 2 multiply by 5 raise to poer 2 minus 18 raise to power 2

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4^2 x 5^2 - 18^2

PEMDAS is our acronym for order of operations: Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction.

Since we have no parentheses, we'll calculate the numbers and exponents (PEMDAS) first. "to the power of 2" is also called "squared" and means multiplying that number by itself.

(4x4) x (5x5) - (18x 18)

=16 x 25 - 324

Now we multiply: (PEMDAS)

= 400 - 324

then subtract: (PEMDAS)

=76
