1. x+5y=8
2x- 5y=1 What you do is find the number/variable that are the same( here is is the +5y and -5y. You want them to be opposites(-,+) so that they cancel each other out. if they are not opposites, then multiply one equation by a negative sign to change it. Cross out the 5y's. Now you can combine like terms-x+2x=3x, and 8+1=9, so now your equation will look like this:
3x=9
x=9/3
x=3
now take x=3 and plug it into the first equation to solve for y. x+5y=8, so 3+5y=8
5y=8-3
5y=5
y=5/5
y=1
(3,1) are your answers.
now do the same with the other problems.
Answer: 4.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
i took this
A. The master bolt was stolen.
find the lcm first for 8 and 5 which is 40
closs multiply the 4 given numbers
so,
8x4 +5x3/ 40 (lcm)
32+15/40 = 47/40
47/40 = 1.175
ans = 1.175
hope that helps u out
