To solve this system using substitution, start by writing them next to each other. You can see that the y value is already isolated with its own value (x - 7).

So, since y equals that expression, you can substitute it into your first given equation for the y.
This leaves you with:
5x + 2(x - 7) = 14

Then, use the distributive property to simplify your equation.
This ends up with:
5x + 2x - 14 = 14

Combine like terms by adding the coefficients in front of your x’s.
This results in:
7x - 14 = 14

Begin to isolate your variable by adding 14 to both sides.
This leaves you with:
7x = 28

Divide both sides by 7 to find the value of x in your solution.
This results in:
X = 4
So you know that the x value in your final ordered pair will be a 4.
At his point you could eliminate answer options and find the correct one, however to find your y value:

Substitute in your x to the simplest equation you were given in the system at the beginning.
This would be y = x - 7
Plugging in the value leaves you with:
y = 4 - 7
Subtract to find your final answer.
4-7= -3

So your y value is -3.

This makes your final ordered pair option C. (4, -3)

How do you find the coordinates of a missing side of a square (axes)​
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:So first, I found the length of the sides and the diagonal of the square, which are 18−−√ and 6 respectively. By graphing, I know the solution is (0,−1). Then, I assume that since the length between (3,2) and (−3,2) is the diagonal, then the distance between (0,5) and the remaining vertex must be the diagonal too. And since the length of the side is 6, then the distance between the vertex and either (3,2) or (−3,2) must be 6. So:

(x−3)2+(y−2)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√=18−−√

(x−0)2+(y−5)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√=6

Which gives (after a bit of cleaning up):

x2+y2−10y=11

x2−6x+y2−4y=5

Then, replacing the second expression into the first one:

x2−6x+y2−4y=5⇒x2=5+6x−y2+4y

5+6x−y2+4y+y2−10y=11

5+6x+4y−10y=11

6x−6y+6

x−y=1

x=1+y

Up to this point, I know I'm not entirely wrong because the expression is true for the actual coordinates of the vertex, because 0=1+(−1) is true. But I wouldn't know how to proceed if I hadn't known the answer beforehand. I need to find both x and y, is there a linear equation I'm missing to find the exact coordinates of the last vertex? Is my process okay or is there a simpler way to do it?

Subtracting unlike fractions 8/9 - 5/6
inn [45]
Hello,

Here is your answer:

The proper answer to your question is "1/18".

Here is how:

8*6=48
9*6=54
-
5*9=45
6*9=54

48-45=3

Which is 3/54!

3/3=1
54/3=18

Which means your answer is 1/18!

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

To manage a rental property, a property manager charges $65 per month plus 6% of the rent.
Igoryamba

Given parameters:

Charge per month  = $65

Percentage on rent= 6%

Amount paid by Jack per month = $164

Unknown:

Monthly rent on his property = ?

Solution:

  Monthly rent on his property can be found by;

  Amount paid by Jack per month = Charge per month + 6% of monthly rent

Let the monthly rent = x ;

  So;

              164  = 65 + \frac{6}{100}  x x

              164 - 65  = \frac{6x}{100}

                   99  = \frac{6x}{100}

                   6x = 9900

                    x = 1650

Monthly rent on his property is $1650
