Let the units digit = x

Let the 10s digit = y

Equations

10y + x - 2 = 8 * (x + y)              (1)

10y + x - 54 = 10x + y               (2)

Equation 1

10y + x - 2 = 8 * (x + y)    Remove the brackets on the right

10y + x - 2 = 8x + 8y       Subtract 8y from both sides

10y - 8y + x - 2 = 8x        Subtract 8x from both sides

2y + x - 8x - 2 = 0            Combine

2y - 7x - 2 = 0                  (3)

Equation 2

10y + x - 54 = 10x + y      Subtract 10x

10y - 9x - 54 = y              Subtract y from both sides.

9y - 9x - 54 = 0               Divide by 9

y - x - 6 =  0                     Multiply by 2

2y - 2x - 12 = 0                (4)

Solution

Subtract (3) - (4)

2y - 7x - 2 = 0

2y - 2x - 12 = 0

- 5x + 10 = 0      Subtract 10 from both sides.

- 5x = - 10          Divide by - 5

  x = 2

Use (4) to find y

2y - 2x - 12 = 0         Let x =2

2y - 2(2) - 12 = 0      Remove the brackets

2y - 4 - 12 = 0           Combine

2y - 16 = 0                 Add 16 to both sides.

2y = 16                      Divide by 2

y = 8

Answer 82

I'll leave the check to you, but the answer of 82 is correct.

Write the Slope-Intercept and Point-Slope forms of the line passing through the point (-3, 2) and having a slope of -4/5
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

slope-intercept: y=\frac{-4}{5} x-\frac{2}{5}

point-slope: y-2=\frac{-4}{5} (x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is written as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The point-slope form of a line is written as y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a given point and m is the slope.

Here, we see that the slope is -4/5, which means that m = -4/5. Since we're given a point (-3, 2), let's go ahead and just write the point-slope form already. (x1, y1) = (-3, 2) so x1 = -3 and y1 = 2. Then:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = (-4/5) * (x + 3)

y-2=\frac{-4}{5} (x+3)

Now, we want to find the slope-intercept form, so we need to figure out the y-intercept. Well, first, let's plug in what we know:

y = mx + b

y = (-4/5)x + b

Any point on this line will satisfy the above equation. Since (-3, 2) is on this line, if we plug -3 in for x and 2 in for y, the equation should hold true, so we can solve for b:

y = (-4/5)x + b

2 = (-4/5) * (-3) + b

2 = 12/5 + b

b = -2/5

So, the y-intercept is -2/5. Then the slope-intercept form is:

y=\frac{-4}{5} x-\frac{2}{5}

Thus, our two equations are:

slope-intercept: y=\frac{-4}{5} x-\frac{2}{5}

point-slope: y-2=\frac{-4}{5} (x+3)
