The two equations can be solve using substitution method. 
<span>-3x + y = -11    .....................(1)
2X + 5y = 30    .....................(2)
</span>
From equation 1,
-3x + y = -11 
y=-11+3x
y=3x-11

Substitute the vale of y in equation 2 with y=3x-11,
2X + 5y = 30
2x + 5(3x-11) = 30
2x + 15x - 55 = 30
17x -55 = 30
17x = 30+55
17x = 85
x =85/17
   =  5

From the equation 1, 
 y=3x-11
Since  x = 5,

y = 3(5) - 11
  = 15 - 11
  = 4

Answer;
     x = 5
     y = 4

1) -3x + y= -11
2)2x + 5y = 30

Either both x or both y have to be equal
So 1) can be multiplied by 5 to get y to become 5y

Therefore 1) becomes 3) -15x + 5y = 30


So you do 2) - 3)

To get 17x=85
Divide both sides by 17 to get x=5



Then to get y sub 5 into 2x + 5y= 30


2*5 + 5y = 30

10 + 5y = 30

-10. -10

5y = 20

/5. /5


Y= 4




So you get that y=4 and x=5

A grapefruit is 8% heavier than an orange, and an apple is 10% lighter than the orange.
likoan [24]
Weight of an grapefruit=weight of an orange+8% weight of an orange
weight of an apple=weight of an orange -10% weight of an orange

a.<span>By what percentage is the grapefruit heavier than the apple?
We should find the connection between grapefruit and an apple. We know the connection between the weight of a grapefruit and an orange, we know the connection between an orange and an apple, so this means we know the connection between a grapefruit and an apple.
</span>
weight of an grapefruit=weight of an <span>orange+8% weight of an orange
</span>weight of an orange=weight of an apple<span> +10% weight of an apple
</span>
-> weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple + 8%(weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple)= weight of an apple + 18% weight of an apple + 2% weight of an apple= <span>weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple 

</span><span>b.By what percentage is the apple lighter than the grapefruit?
</span>weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple<span> 
</span>
-> The apple ts 20% lighter than the grapefruit.

Solve the slope…. pls
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

slope = 5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the x-intercept: (-7, 0) and the y-intecept: (0, 5):

We can use the slope formula:

m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

Let (x1, y1) = (-7, 0)

(x2, y2) = (0, 5)

Plug these values into the slope formula:

m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} = \frac{5 - 0}{0 - (-7)} = \frac{5}{7}

Therefore, the slope is 5/7
