For this question you are going to want to isolate a different variable in one of the first two and the third. Then you will plug those values into each other and then the reuslts into the third (I will show later). I will be using the 1st and the 3rd because those are the easiest.
-x-y-z = -8------> add y and z to both sides
-x = y + z - 8 -----> Divide both sides by -1
x = -y - z + 8

2x + 2z = 4 ----> Divide both sides by 2
x + z = 2 -----> Subtract x from both sides
z = -x + 2

x = -y - (-x + 2) + 8 ----> Now reisolate x by first simplying
x = -y + x -2 + 8 -----> Add
x = -y + x + 6 -----> Subtract x from both sides and add y to both sides
y = 6

Plug the values for y and z into the second equation and isolate x.
-4x + 4(6) + 5(-x+2) = 7 ----> Simplify
-4x + 24 -5x +10 = 7 ----> Combine like terms
-9x + 34 = 7 -----> Subtract 34 from both sides
-9x = -27 -----> Divide both sides by -9
x = 3

Plug x into the thirs equation and isolate z
2(3) + 2z = 4 ---> Simplify
6 + 2z = 4 ----> Subtract 6 from both sides
2z = -2 ----> Divide both sizes by 2
z = -1

Final Answers:
x = 3
y = 6
z = -1

Optional - Check your answer by plugging the values above back into the 1st equation.

-x-y-z = -8
-(3)-(6)-(-1) = -8
-3 - 6 + 1 = -8
-8 = -8

Hope this helps!

What is the number between 145.809 and 144.809?
Sedbober [7]

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

145.309

<em><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></em>

So we want to find the midpoint of the two number: 145.809 and 144.809, what we want to do it to find the difference between the two numbers and then divide it by 2 so we can find the halfway point:

145.809 - 144.809 = 1

^ So from this, we just have to add half of 1 or 0.5 to the smaller number:

144.809 + 0.5 = 145.309

Write 0.0007654 * 10^0 in scientific notation, then state the order of magnitude for it.
Bas_tet [7]

remember that to put a number in scientific notation is necessary to have the first digit of the number different to 0, so

0.0007654\cdot10^0=7.654\cdot10^{-4}

to calculate the order of magnitude, if the number is greater than 3.16, we assume it as a 10, so in this case as 7.654 > 3.16 we get that the order is

10\cdot10^{-4}=10^{-3}

So the order is 10^-3

Lasy year, Kristen read a total of 30 fiction and non-fiction books. The number of non-fiction books was 5 less than 4 times the
Simora [160]

Answer:

  • 7 fiction books
  • 23 non-fiction books

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of non-fiction read was 5 less than 4 times the number of fiction books.

Assume fiction books are x.

An equation representing this would be:

x + (4x - 5) = 30

5x - 5 = 30

5x = 30 + 5

x = 35 / 5

x = 7 fiction books

Non-fiction books:

= 4x - 5

= 4 * 7 - 5

= 23 non - fiction books
