Answer:

x = 5 , y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2y = 29  ....................(1)

x + 4y = 13   Multiply this equation by -5:-

-5x - 20y = -65.................(2)

Add equations  (1) and (2):-

-18y =  -36

y =  2

Substitute for y in equation (1):-

5x + 2(2) = 29

5x = 25

x = 5

Check the results in the second equation:-

x + 4y = 13

5 + 4(2) = 13  - It checks out.

5x + 2y = 29

x + 4y = 13


First isolate one of the variables in one of the equations.

I will isolate x in the second equation (because it is the easiest to isolate) and plug it into the second equation


x + 4y = 13    Subtract 4y on both sides

x = 13 - 4y


5x + 2y = 29

5(13 - 4y) + 2y = 29    [since x = 13 - 4y, you can plug in (13 - 4y) for x]

Multiply/distribute 5 into (13 - 4y)

65 - 20y + 2y = 29

65 - 18y = 29   Subtract 65 on both sides

-18y = - 36       Divide -18 on both sides

y = 2


Now that you know y, you can plug it into one of the equations to find x

x + 4y = 13

x + 4(2) = 13

x + 8 = 13

x = 5


Your answer is C

One positive integer is 7
laiz [17]
You use a system of equations to solve this.
x will be one integer and y will be the other.

2y - 7 = x
x^2 + y^2 = 433

You can plug (2y - 7) in for x in the second equation.

(2y - 7)^2 + y^2 = 433
4y^2 - 28y + 49 + y^2 = 433
5y^2 - 28y -384 = 0
y = 12 or -32/5

It has to be 12 since -32/5 is not an integer.

Plug 12 in for y to get x.

2(12) - 7 = x
x = 17

The integers are 12 and 17.

The graph represents the function f(x)=x^2+3x+2
Svetllana [295]

To reflect a function across the x axis, we want to turn all the x values that were once positive negative and vice versa. That means we want f(-x), which is: f(x)=x^2+3x+2 \implies\\ f(-x)=(-x)^2+3(-x)+2 \implies\\ f(-x)=x^2-3x+2 =g(x)

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

C. $7.70

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to calculate the 10% of the price and subtract that from the price to find the amount of the discount:

$27*10%=$2.7

Now, you can add the amount of the discount plus the coupon to find the amount that the customer saved:

$5+$2.7=$7.7

According to this, the answer is that the customer saved: C. $7.70

The population of California is approximately 4000000 people. The population of south Dakota is approximately 800,000 people. Th
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The population of California is about 5 times the population of south Dakota

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> the population of California

y -----> the population of south Dakota

we have

x=4,000,000 people

y=800,000 people

Divide the population of California by the population of south Dakota, to find out how many times the population of South Dakota is the population of California

so

x/y

substitute

4,000,000/800,000=5

therefore

The population of California is about 5 times the population of south Dakota
