2x - 2y = -2

x - 4y = 5

In x -4y =5, add 4y to both sides to get x = 4y +5

Now substitute that equation for x in the first equation:

2x - 2y = -2

2(4y +5) - 2y = -2

Simplify:

8y +10 - 2y = -2

Combine like terms:

6y +10 = -2

Subtract 10 from both sides:

6y = -12

Divide both sides by 6:

y = -12 /6

y = -2

Now you have y, substitute y in the second equation to solve for x:

x - 4y = 5

x -4(-2) = 5

Simplify:

x+8 = 5

Subtract 8 from both sides:

x = -3

Now you have x = -3 and y = -2

The answer is (-3,-2)

Answer:

(-3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the second equation, we can easily rearrange it to make x the subject.

x - 4y = 5

x = 4y + 5

Now lets put that into the second equation

2x - 2y = -2

2(4y + 5) - 2y = -2

6y + 10 = -2

6y = -12

y = -2

Now lets find x!

x = 4y + 5

x = 4(-2) + 5

x = -3

Now lets format the answer like the question says (ordered pair)

(-3, -2)

Recap: We used substitution and made an equation to work out one of the variables first, then found the second variable using the first.

Haben knows that the angle of elevation from the top of a rock formation to a stake in the ground 50 feet from its base is 42°.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The height of the rock formation is 45.02\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

tan(42\°)=h/50

solve for h

h=50*tan(42\°)=45.02\ ft

Vector V is in standard position and makes an angle of 50° with the positive x-axis. Its magnitude is 15. Write V in component f
Scilla [17]

Answer:

a=9.641, b=11.49

Vector will be 9.641 i + 11.49 j

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that vector V has the magnitude of 15

And it makes an angle of 50^{\circ} with positive x axis

Now let the x component of vector V is a and y component of vector V is b

So a=Vcos\Theta =15\times cos50^{\circ}=9.641

b=Vsin\Theta =15\times sin50^{\circ}=11.49

In vector form 9.641 i+11.49 j
