Solve the system by substitution x=-8y-15 2x+5y=-8
Ghella [55]

To solve this system by substitution, we must substitute in the value we are given for x in terms of y (the first equation) into the second equation.  This is modeled below:

x = -8y - 15

2x + 5y = -8

2 (-8y - 15) + 5y = -8

Now, we should solve this new equation for y.  To begin, we should use the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses on the left side of the equation and begin the simplification process.

-16y - 30 + 5y = -8

Next, we can combine like terms on the left side of the equation by adding together the two terms that both contain the variable y.

-11y - 30 = -8

Next, we should add 30 to both sides in order to move all of the constant (number) terms to the left side of the equation.

-11y = 22

After that, we should divide both sides of the equation by -11 in order to get the variable y alone.

y = -2

Now, we can substitute our value for y back into one of our original equations (it doesn't matter which one you choose; they will yield the same answer).

x = -8y - 15

x = -8(-2) - 15

To simplify, we should following the order of operations outlined by PEMDAS and compute the multiplication and then the subtraction.

x = 16 - 15

x = 1

Therefore, the answer to the system is x = 1 and y = -2, or (1,-2) when written as an ordered pair.  

Hope this helps!

A bag initially contains red marbles and blue marbles only, with more blue than red. Red marbles are added to the bag until only
STALIN [3.7K]

(C) \frac{1}{3} fraction of the marbles now in the bag is blue.

<h3>What is a fraction?</h3>
  • A fraction is a portion of a whole or, more broadly, any number of equal parts.
  • In everyday English, a fraction represents the number of pieces of a specific size, such as one-half, eight-fifths, or three-quarters.
  • A common, vulgar, or simple fraction that consists of a numerator above a line and a non-zero denominator below that line.
  • Numerators and denominators are also employed in uncommon fractions such as compound fractions, complex fractions, and mixed numerals.

To find what fraction of the marbles now in the bag is blue:

  • Important information is that immediately before the last step blue marbles formed \frac{1}{5} from the marble in the bag.
  • That means that there were x blue and 4x other marbles, for some x.
  • When we double the number of blue marbles, there will be 2x blue and 4x other marbles.
  • Hence, blue marbles now form \frac{1}{3} all marbles in the bag.

Therefore, (C) \frac{1}{3} fraction of the marbles now in the bag is blue.

Complete question:

A bag initially contains red marbles and blue marbles only, with more blue than red. Red marbles are added to the bag until only 1 / 3 of the marbles in the bag are blue. Then yellow marbles are added to the bag until only 1 / 5 of the marbles in the bag are blue. Finally, the number of blue marbles in the bag is doubled. What fraction of the marbles now in the bag are blue?

(A) 1/5

(B) 1/4

(C) 1/3

(D) 2/5

(E) 1/2
