Y = -3 + 5x ----------------- (1)
3x - 8y = 24 --------------- (2)

Solve by substitution. We will substitute equation (1) into equation (2):

------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute equation (1) into equation (2) :
------------------------------------------------------------
3x - 8y = 24 // Equation (2)
3x - 8(-3 + 5x) = 24 // Sub x = -3 + 5x
3x + 24 - 40x = 24 // Apply distributive property
-37x + 24 = 24 // Combine like terms
-37x = 0 // Take away 24 from both sides
x = 0 // Divide by -37 on both sides

Sub x = 0 into equation (1) :
y = - 3 + 5(0) // Sub x = 0
y = -3 // Combine like terms

-----------------------------------------------
Answer : The ordered pair is (0, -3).
-----------------------------------------------

Mrs.Cranston bought five bottles of water for $0.90 each and 8 pounds of meat. She paid a total of $26.90 for these items, not i

Morgarella [4.7K]

Water = 5 bottles * $0.90 = $4.50
meat = 8 pounds * x amount.

Total = water + meat prices = $26.90
26.90 = $4.50 + 8x
22.40 = 8x
2.8 = x

The price per pound of meat is $2.80.

Help please! I’m giving brainliest to however gets this question right.

Answer:

They both have area 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the square:

$base*height = 2 * 2 = 4$

Area of the triangle:

Using the left-side of the triangle as the base, and the height from the left-side to the bottom-right corner:

$\frac{1}{2}base*height$

$\frac{1}{2}4\sqrt2*\sqrt2=4$

We know the length of the diagonal is $\sqrt2$ as we are using a centimetre grid, so we can create an isosceles triangle with side lengths 1 and our unknown length, we can then use Pythagorean Theorem to work out our unknown side length.
