<span>x+5y=8  ----------------- (1)

</span>y=3x      ----------------- (2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

x + 5(3x) = 8

Distribute 5:
x + 15x = 8

Combine like terms:
16x = 8

Divide both sides by 16:
x = 0.5 

Substitute x = 0.5 into (2):

y = 3(0.5) 

Distribute 3
y = 1.5

Answer: x = 0.5, y = 1.5

For a Brainlist !!!!!!!
UNO [17]

y=-7x+2

m=-7, so that's a negative slope.

b=2, so the y-intercept is (0,2).  That's a postiive y-intercept.

Solve 0=-7x+2 to find the x-intercept.

     7x=2

       x=2/7

The x-intercept is (2/7,0), so that's a positive x-intercept.

Daine simplified the expression below.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8(1 + 2i) -  (7 - 3i) = 8*1 + 8*2i + 7*(-1) - 3i*(-1)

                          = 8 + 16i -7 + 3i

                          = 8 - 7 + 16i + 3i

                          = 1 + 19i

Daniel forgot to multiply 2i by 8

What is the value of x in the equation-2/5x-2=18
Flura [38]
First we have to isolate the varible

-2/5x-2=18
        +2   +2

-2/5x=20

then divide both sides by -2/5 to get x completely by itself

-2/5x=20
-------  ---
-2/5     -2/5

x=-50

i hope i've helped!
