Answer:
x = ± 2i
Step-by-step explanation:
note that 
= i
x² = - 12 ( take square root of both sides )
x = ± 
= ± 
= ± 2i
(4,10).
1. There are three ways to solve this: elimination, substitution, graphing.
2. I chose elimination, so I had to get one negative variable and one positive variable of the same value (for example, 18 and -18)
-7x+2y=-8
-16x+9y=26
I chose to get 2y and 9y to equal -18y and 18y.
So, multiply the first equation by -9. Multiply the second by 2.
63x-18y=72
-32x+18y=52
the 18s cross each other out. So you're left with
63x=72
-32x=52. Add them.
31x=124, divide both sides by 31, and you'll get 4.
x=4
Plug your answer for x into one of the equations. Let's use the first one.
-7(4)+2y=-8
-28+2y=-8. add 28 to both sides.
2y=20, divide both sides by 2.
y=10.
This makes your answer (4,10)
To answer this question, you need to know how many drops go into atheism test tube.
Each drop is 1/8 milliliter. The test tube is 30 milliliter.
So, divide 30 by 1/8 to see how many times 1/8 goes into 30.
30 divided by 1/8 = 30 times 8 = 240
It takes 240 drops (that's a lot!) to fill up the test tube.
Hope this helps!
