Hey there!

To start, substitution is isolating one variable in one equation in a system and plugging it into the second equation for the variable isolated.

In this case, because y in the first equation has a coefficient of 1, it is easiest to use. So now, isolate y:

-8x + y = -6

y = 8x - 6

Now that you have solved for y, plug 8x - 6 into the y value of the second equation and solve for x:

16x + 2(8x-6) = 3

16x + 16x - 12 = 3

32x - 12 = 3

32x = 15

x = 15/32

Now that you have your x value, plug it into your first equation for x and solve for y:

-8(15/32) + y = -6

-15/4 + y = -6

y= -6 + 15/4

y= -9/4

Therefore, your final answer would be x = 15/32 and y = -9/2 or the point pair (15/32, -9/2).

Which of these choices show a pair of equivalent expressions? A.7^5/7 and (√ 7)^5 B.6^7/2 and (√ 6)^7 C.(4√ 81)^7 and 81^7/4 D.5
OverLord2011 [107]
We will use the following law of indices (or 'index law') to check each pair of expression

x^{ \frac{m}{n}} = ( \sqrt[n]{x} )^{m}

With fractional power, the denominator is the root and the numerator is the power of the term. When the denominator is 2, we usually only write the normal square symbol (√). Denominator other than 2, we usually write the value of the root, for example, the cubic root ∛

Option A - Incorrect
7^{ \frac{5}{7}} should equal to ( \sqrt[7]{7} )^{5}

Option B - Correct
6^{ \frac{7}{2} } does equal to ( \sqrt{6}) ^{7}

Option C - Incorrect
4( \sqrt{81} )^{7} should equal to (4)( 81^{ \frac{7}{2} } )

Option D - Incorrect
5^{ \frac{2}{3} } should equal to ( \sqrt[3]{5} )^{2}

How to classify a polynomial by its degree​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:Classifying Polynomials. Polynomials can be classified two different ways - by the number of terms and by their degree. A monomial has just one term. For example, 4x2 .Remember that a term contains both the variable(s) and its coefficient (the number in front of it.)

Step-by-step explanation:Hope this helps. Please name me brainliest

Find the slope of the line going through the point (0,3) and (0,4)
telo118 [61]

Answer:

undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line between two points, use the slope formula \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of one point the line passes through, and x_2 and y_2 represent the x and y values of another point the line also passes through. Therefore, use the x and y values of the points (0,3) and (0,4) to find the slope. Substitute them into the formula in the right order:

\frac{(4)-(3)}{(0)-(0)} \\= \frac{4-3}{0-0}\\=\frac{1}{0}

However, we can't divide 1 by 0. Therefore, the slope is undefined. (You could also graph the points to see that they form a vertical line, and all vertical lines have an undefined slope.)
