Adding both equations cancels y:
<span>4x + 8y = 16
</span><span>4x - 8y = 0
-----------------+
8x = 16 => x=2
filling in x=2 in the first equation gives:
4*2 + 8y = 16 => 8y = 8 => y=1
So (2,1) is the (x,y) pair that solves the two equations. Answer C.</span>
Answer:
y = 1/2x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
-2 - (-5) / 8 - 2
3 / 6
= 1/2
y = 1/2x + b
-5 = 1/2(2) + b
-5 = 1 + b
-6 = b
To solve for how many miles Rachel jogged if she jogged a 1/4 mile trail 8 times, we simply need to multiply the distance she ran each time by the amount of times she ran it.
1/4 * 8 = 2
Rachel jogged 2 miles.
Hope that helped =)
5x^2 - 80 = 0
5x^2 = 80
x^2 = 80/5
x^2 = 16
x = sqrt 16
x = (4,-4) <===
