What you can do in this case is the following rule of three to find the result:
 1 light year ---> 5.88 * 10 ^ 12 miles
 3.2 * 10 ^ 2 light year ---> x
 Clearing x we have:
 x = ((3.2 * 10 ^ 2) / (1)) * (5.88 * 10 ^ 12)
 x = 1.88 * 10 ^ 15 miles
 answer:
 In scientific notation, approximately it is 1.88 * 10 ^ 15 miles

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? y=8x+3y=8x+3
Mrac [35]

Multiply the first equation by 4 (so that both equations will have 8x terms) and then subtract:  

8x-20y = -24

8x +3y = 68

------------

0 -23y = -92  

Now divide both sides by -23:  

y = 4  

Find x by plugging y=4 into either equation:  

8x +3(4) = 68

8x = 68 - 12

8x = 56

x = 7  

So the answer is ordered pair is (7,4)

How can you decide which variable to solve for first when you are solving a linear system by substitution
Helen [10]
There are many factors, it is all a matter of preference, normally, you want to try to solve for the easiest one to get to
example

if y ou had

(x-3)^2+y=9
you would solve for y becuase it is less tricky

it is all a matter of preference
