Answer:

x = (2/5); y = (-2/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 0

13x + 8y = 2

Multiply so the "x" variables are opposite with the same absolute value.

(-13) x + y = 0 (-13) ⇒ -13x - 13y = 0

(1) 13x + 8y = 2 (1)  ⇒  13x + 8y = 2

Add the two equations.

(13x - 13x) + (8y - 13y) = (2 - 0)

-5y = 2

Divide both sides by -5

y = -\frac{2}{5}

Plug the value of "y" into either equations.

x + (-\frac{2}{5}) = 0

Add \frac{2}{5} to both sides.

x = \frac{2}{5}

A GE lightbulb is supposed to last for 1,200 hours. In fact, light bulbs of this type last only 1,185 hours with a standard devi
dybincka [34]
This can be solved using the formula for t test which is = x - mu over standard deviation divided by the square root of the number of samples. In this case, it is 1185 - 1200 over 70 divided by square root of 100 which give us a value of 2.14 which is equal to .9839 in area. Only rarely, just over one time in a hundred tries of 100 light bulbs, would the average life exceed 1200 hours.

Choose the graph that matches the following system of equations: x − 3y = −12 2x − y = 1 a line includes points 0 comma 1 and ne
bezimeni [28]
To choose the graph, we must make sure that it satisfies both equations of the system simultaneously.
 We have then:
 a line includes points 0 comma 4 and 3 comma 5
 Verifying:
 (0, 4)
 (0) - 3 (4) = -12
 0-12 = -12
 -12 = -12
 (3, 5)
 2x - y = 1
 2 (3) - (5) = 1
 6-5 = 1
 1 = 1
 answer 
 The graph that matches the system of equations is
 a line includes points 0 comma 4 and 3 comma 5

Find the equation of a straight line that has a perpendicular bisector of AB.
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of line through A ,B is

m=(-2-6)/(5-2)=-8/3

slope of line perpendicular to AB Is  3/8

mid-point of AB =((2+5)/2,(6-2)/2)=(7/2,2)

eq. of reqd line is

y-2=3/8(x-7/2)

8y-16=3x-21/2

16y-32=6x-21

16y-6x=-21+32

16y-6x=11
