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

You downloaded a video game to your computer. You have a 60-minute free trial of the game. It takes 5 1/6 minutes to set up the

igomit [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The time for set up the game = $5\frac{1}{6}$ minutes,

Also, the time for each level of game is $7\frac{1}{3\\}$ minutes,

If there are l levels of games,

Then the time taken in all levels of game = $(7\frac{1}{3}) l$ <em> </em>

Hence, the total time ( in minutes ) = Set up time + time in all level

= $5\frac{1}{6} +(7\frac{1}{3}) l$

We have 60-minute of free trial of the game,

So, the total time taken can not be exceed to 60 minutes,

= $5\frac{1}{6} +(7\frac{1}{3}) l\leq 60$

Which is the required inequality.

Option 'B' is correct.

Rachel and her friends are making necklaces out of beads and straws. They plan to use 12 beads and 5 straws for each necklace. T

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

225 necklaces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that they have the necessary amount of straws to match the beads then we can use the following simple equation to solve this problem.

t = b/12 ... where t is the total amount of necklaces and b is the number of beads you have

t = 2700 / 12

225 necklaces.

For 225 necklaces you would also need 1125 straws since each necklace requires 5 straws to be fully made. Therefore if you have this amount you should not run into any problems.

Food A contains 150 calories in 3/4of a serving. Food B contains

nadya68 [22]

Food A has fewer calories per serving.

I found this by taking the first food (A) and dividing 150 by 3. This gave me 50, which I added onto 150 to give me my 4/4 of a serving (200 calories).

With food B, I did the same process. I took 250/2 and added that to the original amount to get the final third of the serving, which resulted in food B being 375 calories.

What is the independent variable of an equation?

bulgar [2K]

The independent variable of an equation is x, or something u can change. in linear equations, for example, it is y=3x+4. and x is the independent variable cause most of the time u will plug in or substitute a number for x.
