We have the variable y so lets substitute
y=-3x-2
2x+5y=16

2x+5y=16
2x+5(-3x-2)=16
2x-15x-10=16
-13x=26
x=-2

y=-3x-2
  =-3(-2)-2
  =4

2x+5y=16
2(-2)+5(4)=16
-4+20=16
16=16

You have to get a variable by itself like in here... Y is itself so in the other equation or we can say second one you just have to sub it in... Like

2x+5(-3x-2)=16
2x-15x-10=16
Now you just have to subtract 2 from 15, because of the same variable that is (x)
So -13x-10=16
Take 10 to the other side means add from the both sides, that will get you at
-13x=26
So now x= -2
Remember you added because it was -10 if it would be a positive 10 then you have to subtract it from both of the sides but since here it was negative so you just added them up
Hope i helped

If x is an even number, the function f(x) = 2x − 1 gives an odd number. Identify the set of odd numbers corresponding to this se
Alex787 [66]
X = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8}.

=> f(x) = 2x - 1


x                  f(x) = 2x - 1

0                   2*0 - 1 = - 1

2                   2*2 - 1 = 3

4                   2*4 - 1 = 7

6                   2*6 - 1 = 11

8                   2*8 - 1 = 15

Answer: {-1, 3, 7, 11, 15}

Which expression gives the solutions -5x+2x^2=-6x?(1pt)
irina [24]
This is the concept of algebra, the solution of the given expression will be given as follows;
-5x+2x²=-6x
adding 5x on both sides we get
5x-5x+2x²=-6x+5x
2x²=-x
divide both sides by 2
(2x²)/2=-x/2
x²=-x/2
divide both sides by x
(x²)/x=-x/(2x)
x=-1/2
the answer is x=-1/2

{y=-x+1<br> {y=4x-14<br> please help me <br> my paper is due today
Temka [501]

- x + 1 = 4x - 14 \\  - x - 4x =  - 14 - 1 \\  - 5x =  - 15 \\ x = 3

Substitute x = 3 in any given equations. I will do in y = - x + 1

y =  - x + 1 \\ y =  - 3 + 1 \\ y =  - 2

Therefore the answer is (3,-2)
