2x + y = 20
-5y = -6x + 12
To use the substitution method, first isolate one of the variables in one of the equations.
Isolate the "y" in the first equation (because it is the easiest to isolate), and substitute it into the second equation:
2x + y = 20 Subtract 2x on both sides
y = 20 - 2x
-5y = -6x + 12 (since y = 20 - 2x, you can substitute 20 - 2x into y)
-5(20 - 2x) = -6x + 12 Multiply -5 into (20 - 2x)
-100 + 10x = -6x +12 Add 100 on both sides
10x = -6x + 112 Add 6x on both sides
16x = 112 Divide 16 on both sides
x = 7
Now that you have found x, you can substitute 7 into x for one of the original equations:
2x + y = 20
2(7) + y = 20
14 + y = 20 Subtract 14 on both sides
y = 6
-5y = -6x + 12
-5y = -6(7) + 12
-5y = -42 + 12
-5y = -30 Divide -5 on both sides
y = 6
x = 7, y = 6
Answer:
Simple Interest: A = P(1+rt)
Step-by-step explanation:
P: the principal, the amount invested
A: the new balance
t: the time
r: the rate, (in decimal form)
Ex1: If $1000 is invested now with a simple interest of 8% per year. Find the new amount after two years.
P = $1000, t = 2 years, r = 0.08.
A = 1000(1+0.08(2)) = 1000(1.16) = 1160

The best estimate for this correlation would be B) 0.9.
We can see that the number is constantly going up, which would throw out the D answer.
We can also see that for every time the x goes up 1, the y goes up a little less than one. We can see that in the ordered pairs that exist on the graph such as (3, 2), (8, 6) and (2.1, 1.9).
Since the y values are just lower than the x, the correlation would be just under one. Therefore, 0.9 is an accurate estimation.
