If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following system, choose the new equation after the expression equivalen

t to x from the first equation is substituted into the second equation.
−x + 5y = 1
2x + 4y = −4

Choices:

2(5y − 1) + 4y = −4
2(−5y + 1) + 4y = −4
2x + 4(−5y + 1) = −4
2x + 4(5y − 1) = −4

First, you need to isolate the x in the first equation. 
-x + 5y = 1
Subtract 5y from both sides, leaving you with the following equation: 
-x = 1-5y
Because you are trying to solve for positive x and not negative x, you need to make x positive. Therefore you divide both sides by -1. In Algebra, when 1 is the coefficient of the variable, it is not shown, but it is still there. The new equation will be the following: x = 5y-1
Now you just need to substitute the x within the second equation for the x equation we just solved for. 

Therefore, the right answer will be 2(5y-1)+4y= -4. Now, all you have to do is choose the answer that states exactly that, which is the first choice.

A person on a moving sidewalk travels 40 feet in 8 seconds. The moving sidewalk has a length of 200 feet. How long will it take
beks73 [17]

Answer:

The man covers 200 ft in 40 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

A person is moving on the sidewalk from one end to the other end.

He walks 40 feet in 8 seconds.

Therefore his speed = \frac{distance covered}{time}

                                   = \frac{40}{8}

                                   = 5 ft/s^{2}

He covers the sidewalk distance at a rate of 5 feet every second.

To calculate the time taken to cover 200 ft,

time = \frac{distance to be covered}{speed}

time =\frac{200}{5}

<u>time  = 40 seconds</u>

Hence the man covers 200 ft in 40 seconds.
