2x + y = 5

x − 2y = 10

y = 5 − 2x

x − 2(5 − 2x) = 10

x − 10 + 4x = 10

5x − 10 = 10

<em>add 10 to each side</em>

<em>5x-10+10 = 10 + 10</em>

<em>5x=20</em>

5x = 0    <em>this is the error</em>

He needs to add 10 to each side

abruzzese [7]
This is the concept of arithmetic. To calculate the percentage of time life has existed we proceed as follows;
According to history:
The age of earth is 4.6 billion years
the age of life is as it appeared from unicellular is 3.8 billion years.
thus the percentage of the above will be:
3.8/4.6 x 100
=0.82609x100
=82.609%

Answer this in two minutes

Hey there! :)

Answer:

y = x - 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Slope = 1

Point on line: (8, 5)

Plug these into the formula y = mx + b, where:

m = slope

x = x coordinate of point

y = y coordinate of point

5 = 1(8) + b

5 = 8 + b

Subtract both sides by 8:

5 - 8 = 8 -8 + b

-3 = b

Rewrite the equation:

y = x - 3.

A plane takes off at an angle of elevation of 15 and travels in a straight line for 3,000 meters. What is the height of the plan
Gala2k [10]

That's a right triangle with hypotenuse 3000 and the height y is the side opposite the elevation angle of 15 degrees.

y = 3000 \sin 15^\circ


We can actually compute \sin 15^\circ exactly but I won't bother.

y \approx 776 \textrm{ feet}
