Let's use the "elimination by addition/subtraction" method to solve this system for x and y.

<span> -8x=72-16y             
4x=-92+16y        <= Mult. all 3 terms by 2:          8x = - 184 + 32y

Now combine the following, column by column:

</span><span> -8x=       72-16y
</span>8x = - 184 + 32y
-----------------------
   0 = -112 + 16y.  Solving for y, 16y = 112, and y = 7.

Now subst. 7 for y in either of the original equations and calculate x:

<span>4x=-92+16(7)   =>   4x = -92 + 112  =  20.  Then x = 5.

Solution is 5, -7   (or, better written) (5, - 7).</span>

Answer:

x = 1 and y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use substitution because you know that x = y - 4, and plug this into the first equation to get -10(y - 4) + 3y = 5, or -10y + 40 + 3y = 5. This is -7y = -35 so y = 5. Plug this into the 2nd equation to get that x = 1 and y = 5.

a line is perpendicular to y=-2x+5 and intersects the point (-4,2). what is the equation of this perpendicular line?
german

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is perpendicular to y = -2x + 5 then the new line has a slope of 1/2.

So solve for b: using y = mx + b

2 = 1/2(-4) + b

2 = -2 + b

4 = b

Put it all together

y = 1/2x + 4

Please help i been asking since yesterday
Advocard [28]

Answer:

To calculate the perimeter of a triangle, add the length of its sides. For example, if a triangle has sides a, b, and c, then the perimeter of that triangle will be P = a + b + c.
