Answer:

x = -1

y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

to evaluate this system of equation using the substitution methods, we would say that let

8x+y=-16.................................................. equation 1

-3x+y=-5................................................... equation 2

from equation 2

-3x+y=-5................................................... equation 2

y = -5 + 3x ................................................. equation 3

substitute for y into equation 1

8x+y=-16.................................................. equation 1

8x + ( -5 + 3x) = -16

8x - 5 + 3x = -16

collect the like terms

8x + 3x = -16 + 5

11x = -11

divide both sides by the coefficient of x

11x/11 = -11/11

x = -1

put the value of x = -1 into equation 3

y = -5 + 3x ................................................. equation 3

y = -5 + 3(-1)

y = -5 - 3

y = -8

Multiply the second question by -1 to cancel out the y’s. then add them. 11x=-11
x=-1
substitute that back into one of the equations
-3(-1)+y=-5
3+y=-5
y=-8

There are 6 yellow hexagons 2 red trapezoids and 9 green triangles how many flowers could you make if they were changed 30 yello

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

<h3>a) 5 flowers</h3><h3>b) Trapezoid</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

For one flower, the following shapes are used;

6 yellow hexagons, 2 red trapezoids and 9 green triangles

If we are given 30 yellow hexagons 50 red trapezoids and 60 green triangles, to get the number of flowers we can make, we will find the greatest common factor of 30, 50 and 60

30 = 6*5

50 = (2*5)+40

60 = (9*5)+15

We can see that 5 is common to all the factors. This means that we can make 5 flowers if they were changed to 30 yellow hexagons 50 red trapezoids and 60 green triangles.

Since there are 40 trapezoids left and 15 green triangles left, hence the shape that would have n as left over most is trapezoid (40 left over)

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

x<-2

Step-by-step explanation:

You first subtract 4 from both sides. Then you divide both sides by -8 (note: when you multiply or divide by a negative the sign flips. Then you get your answer

WXY is a right triangle. <br><br> A. True. <br> B. False.

lora16 [44]

Answer:

B. False

Step-by-step explanation:

According to pythagorean theorem, for this to be a right triangle, the sum of square of the length of the two legs must equal square of the length of the hypotenuse (longest side).

So $(\sqrt{34} )^{2}$ should equal $(\sqrt{18} )^{2}+(\sqrt{18} )^{2}$
