The answer would be -4 because you are dividing by -5
The question given above may be answered through the concept of ratio and proportion. The ratio of the man's weight on Earth and Mars should be equal to the ratio of the rock's weight on Earth and Mars. By letting x be the rock's mas on Earth, the equation that would best represent the situation is,
180 / 72 = x / 16
The value of x is equal to 40. Thus, the rock weighs 40 pounds on Earth.

Step-by-step explanation:
hmmm this is messy
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 8x − 9
y = 4x − 1
Since the two equations are both equal to y set them equal to each other
8x -9 = 4x-1
Subtract 4x from each side
8x - 9 -4x = 4x-1-4x
4x -9 = -1
Add 9 to each side
4x-9+9 = -1+9
4x = 8
Divide by 4
4x/4 = 8/4
x=2
Now find y
y =4x-1
y = 4(2) -1
y = 8-1
y = 7
(2,7)
The solution to the system of equations is where the two lines intersect. When the two lines are graphed, they will intersect at (2,7)
