Solve the system by substitution.x+5y=-8 -6x+8y=10

Mathematics

Answer:

y=-1, x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

First isolate x:

x+5y-5y=-8-5y

x=-8-5y

Then substitute (-8-5y) for x:

-6(-8-5y)+8y=10

Distribute and solve for y:

48+30y+8y=10

38y-48=10-48

38y=-38

y=-1

Use y to solve for x:

x+5(-1)=-8

x-5=-8

x-5+5=-8+5

x=-3

The population of a bacteria sample doubles every 6 hours. How long would it take for the population to triple?
seraphim [82]

The way to solve this question is to essentially reverse the equation I used in the other answer.


I would solve this with some theoretical values. If you start with 3, how long would it take for it to triple, or reach 9.


the equation would look like 9 = 3(2)^t/6, note how the instead of 1/2 it is now 2 in the parenthesis, as it doubles every 6 hours rather than halves every amount of hours.


When placed into an algebra calculator, the answer should be about 9.5 hours

The sum of twice a number and 15 is grater the 3
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

x>-6

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression you need to solve for this is: 2x+15>3

For now pretend that the > is a = and solve as you normally would for x.

Subtract 15 from both sides

2x=-12

Divide by 2

x=-6

Put the > back in

x>-6
