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

A line passes through the point (–2, 7) and has a slope of –5. A coordinate plane. What is the value of a if the point (a, 2) is

Nana76 [90]

Y = mx + c

7= (-5)(-2)+ c

7= 10 +c

7-10=c

-3=c

Equation of the line: y = -5x-3

Sub in (a, 2)

2= - 5(a)-3

2+3= -5a

5= - 5a

1= - a

A = -1

Answer: 56 large cars and 86 small cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call:

$l$ : the number of large cars.

$s$ : the number of small cars.

Then, you can set up the following system of equations:

$\left \{ {{l+s=142} \atop {5.50l+4.0s=652.50}} \right.$

You can use the Elimination Method:

- Multiply the first equation by -4.0

- Add both equations.

- Solve for l.

$\left \{ {{-4.0l-4.0s=-568} \atop {5.50l+4.0s=652.50}} \right.\\--------\\1.5l=84.5$

$l$ ≈ $56$

Substitute $l=56$ into one of the original equations and solve for <em>s:</em>

<em> </em> $56+s=142\\s=142-56\\s=86$
