Answer:
x= -2, y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. substitute x = 4+2y in the first equation: 
simplify it : 
2. isolate y in 8 + 5y = -7 --> 5y = -7 - 8 -->
3. solve for y: 5y = -15 --> y = -15/5 --> y= -3
4. solve for x: x = 4 + 2y
x = 4 + 2(-3)
x = 4 + (-6)
x = -2
If you use a proportion, you'll get:
Then, you use cross products:
Then, you algebraically solve x:
The answer is 5/3 inches , or 1 5/13 inches, or 1.6 repeating.
Answer:
x=0.69897009
Step-by-step explanation:
expand by logarithms
10^x=5
=log(10^x)=log(5)
=x log(10)=log (5)
log base 10 of 10 is 1
x.l =log(5)
multiple bothside by 1
x=log(5)
x=0.6989709
