The first step is to isolate one of the variables from one of the equations. We can pick either variable and either equation. The easiest to pick on is the 'x' from the first equation as the coefficient here is 1.

Isolate x in the first equation. Subtract 3y from both sides
x+3y = 8
x+3y-3y = 8-3y
x = 8-3y
So we can see that x is the same as 8-3y

Now move onto the second equation
3x - 5y = -18
3( x ) - 5y = -18 ... rewrite x so it has parenthesis around it
3( 8-3y) - 5y = -18 ... replace x with 8-3y; solve for y
24-9y - 5y = -18
24-14y = -18
24-14y-24 = -18-24
-14y = -42
-14y/(-14) = -42/(-14)
y = 3

If y = 3, then x is...
x = 8-3y
x = 8-3*3
x = 8-9
x = -1

The x and y values are x = -1 and y = 3
Together they pair up to form the ordered pair (x,y) = (-1,3)

The solution is (-1,3)
If you graph the two original lines, then they cross at (-1,3)

How many different 4-question geometry quizzes can a teacher make if there are 7 different problems to test on?.
stich3 [128]

Answer:

35 quizzes

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine how many ways we can choose 4 questions out of 7 to make the quizzes.

We do this by using the formula \displaystyle nCr=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} which describes the number of ways we can choose r objects given n possible choices. So, if n=7 and r=4, then:

_4C_7=\frac{7!}{4!(7-4)!}\\\\_4C_7=\frac{7*6*5*4!}{4!*3!}\\\\_4C_7=\frac{210}{6}\\\\_4C_7=35

Hence, the teacher can make 35 different geometry quizzes.
