Y=-x+2 y=-5x-6 What is y and x

1 answer:

6 0

To solve this system of equations, since y is already isolated in both equations, you can set the expressions to equal each other to solve for x:

-x + 2 = - 5x - 6
-x + 5x = -6 - 2
4x = -8
x = -2

Now that we have x, we can substitute it into one of the equations to find y:

y = -(-2) + 2
y = 2 + 2
y = 4

The last step is to substitute both values into both equations to see if they are correct:

4 = -(-2) + 2 --> 4 = 2 + 2 <--True
4 = -5(-2) - 6 --> 4 = 10 - 6 <--True

Answer:
x = -2
y = 4

2 2/3 + 12 6/8 how do I work this

barxatty [35]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{6}{8}=15\dfrac{5}{12}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{6}{8}=2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{6:2}{8:2}=2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\text{Find}\ LCD:\\\\\text{List of multiples of 3:}\ 0,\ 3,\ 6,\ 9,\ \boxed{12},\ 15,\ ...\\\text{List of multiples of 4:}\ 0,\ 4,\ 8,\ \boxed{12},\ 16,\ ...\\\\12=3\cdot4\\\\\text{therefore}\\\\\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{2\cdot4}{3\cdot4}=\dfrac{8}{12}\\\\\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{3\cdot3}{4\cdot3}=\dfrac{9}{12}\\\\2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{3}{4}=2\dfrac{8}{12}+12\dfrac{9}{12}=(2+12)+\dfrac{8+9}{12}=14+\dfrac{17}{12}\\\\=14+1\dfrac{5}{12}=15\dfrac{5}{12}$

How to solve this? Please explain your answer! Thanks!

Answer:

The mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

I would use the mean as the measure of central tendency.

It is the best representation of the data as the variability isn't high; I'd only use the median if outliers are present because outliers don't affect it.

Because there are no outliers here, the mean is better.

Hopefully I helped :)
