To solve this system by substitution, we must substitute in the value we are given for x in terms of y (the first equation) into the second equation.  This is modeled below:

x = -8y - 15

2x + 5y = -8

2 (-8y - 15) + 5y = -8

Now, we should solve this new equation for y.  To begin, we should use the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses on the left side of the equation and begin the simplification process.

-16y - 30 + 5y = -8

Next, we can combine like terms on the left side of the equation by adding together the two terms that both contain the variable y.

-11y - 30 = -8

Next, we should add 30 to both sides in order to move all of the constant (number) terms to the left side of the equation.

-11y = 22

After that, we should divide both sides of the equation by -11 in order to get the variable y alone.

y = -2

Now, we can substitute our value for y back into one of our original equations (it doesn't matter which one you choose; they will yield the same answer).

x = -8y - 15

x = -8(-2) - 15

To simplify, we should following the order of operations outlined by PEMDAS and compute the multiplication and then the subtraction.

x = 16 - 15

x = 1

Therefore, the answer to the system is x = 1 and y = -2, or (1,-2) when written as an ordered pair.  

Hope this helps!

Answer: See below

Explanation:

8x + 14 = 10x - 10 (alt. exterior angle)
8x - 10x = -10 - 14
-2x = -24
x = -24/-2
x = 12

Now plug x = 12 in 10x - 10 to find the angle:

10(12) - 10 = 120 - 10 = 110 degree

The price for 11 ballpoint pens is $11.77. Which of the following represents the same price per pen? A. 4 pens for $4.44 B. 5 pe
Harrizon [31]
First we need to know how much each pen costs.  So we take 11.77 and divide it by 11.  That gives us 1.07 per pen.  So answer choice A has 4 pens for 4.44, so we need to multiply 1.07 x 4.  That gives you 4.28, so we know that isn't the correct answer.  For option B, we need to multiply 1.07 x 5.  That is 5.35, so that also can't be the answer.  For C, we need to do 1.07 x 6, and that gives us 6.42.  So we know the correct answer is option C.
