Answer:

(x,y) =( -9,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

This pair of linear equations may be solved simultaneously by using the elimination method. This will involve ensuring that the coefficient of one of the unknown variables is the same in both equations.

It may be solved by substitution in that one of the variable is made the subject of the equation and the result is substituted into the second equation. Using the elimination method, multiply the second equation by 4, the result is

28x - 8y = -268

Add to the first equation given

5x + 28x + 8y - 8y = -29 -268

33x = -297

x = -297/33

= -9

substitute the value of x into  the first equation

5(-9) + 8y = -29

8y = -29 +45

8y = 16

y = 16/8

= 2

First, multiply the second equation by 4 so that 8y can cancel out. Now you have
5x+8y=-29
and
28x-8y=-268
Add these equations to get 
33x=-297
Divide both sides by 33, and you have
x=-9
Now, simply solve for y by plugging it into an equation, and you have
y=2
The final answer is (-9,2)!

Answer: SECOND OPTION

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem you must:

-Multiply the numerators and the denominators of both expressions:

\frac{(a-3)(5)}{(15a)(a-3)}

- Simplify the expression, as you can see below, then you obtain:

\frac{5}{(15a)}=\frac{1}{3a}

Therefore, as you can see,  the answer is the second option

Write a equation for the line parallel to
Llana [10]
Paralell has same slope
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yint

same slope so other equation is
y=4x+b

input given point
(2,0)
x=2
y=0
0=4(2)+b
0=8+b
minus 8 both sides
-8=b

the equation is y=4x-8

If 800g of a radioactive substance are present initially and 8 years later only 450g remain, how much of the substance will be p
artcher [175]

A=Pe^(rt)

P = 800g

t = 8 years

A = 450g

r = This is what we will try and find to start with

450=800e^(r*8)

After running the math through a calculator, we end with r = -0.07192

Now we just re-input this information into our equation: A=800e^(-0.07192*16)

A=800e^(1.15072)

Now we will re-write the equation using the negative exponent rule:

A = 800 1/e^1.15072

Combine right side:

A = 800/e^1.15072

Then do the math:

A = 253.12709836......

That will give us A = 253 (rounded to the whole number)

I hope this helps! :)
