Solve the system of equations using the substitution method. 2x+8y=4 x=−3y+5

1 answer:

7 0

Since x=-3y+5, substitute x for -3y+5.

2(-3y+5)+8y=4

Distribute.

-6y+10+8y= 4

2y+10= 4

Subtract 10 on both sides.

2y=-6

Divide by 2.

y=-3

Plug in y=-3.

x=-3(-3)+5
x= 9+5
x=14

(14,-3)

We can check this.

2(14)+8(-3)=4
28-24=4
4=4 <== this works

I hope this helps!

Clara created a coordinate grid of her city. The bowling alley is located at (10, 12) and the skating rink is located at (-6, -4

yulyashka [42]

First we need to know the coordinates of the movie theater, we can do this applying the midpoint formula:

$\begin{gathered} P(BA,SR)=(\frac{10-6}{2},\frac{12-4}{2})\text{ = (}\frac{4}{2},\frac{8}{2}) \\ \Rightarrow P(BA,SR)=(2,4) \end{gathered}$

We have that the movie theater is located at (2,4). Now we use this coordinates to find the location of Clara's house using again the midpoint formula:

$\begin{gathered} P(MT,SR)=(\frac{-6+2}{2},\frac{4-4}{2})=(-\frac{4}{2},0) \\ \Rightarrow P(MT,SR)=(-2,0) \end{gathered}$

Therefore, Clara's house is located at (-2,0)

(9-a+5a)/c (a=6,c=9)

SIZIF [17.4K]

$\frac{9-a+5a}{c} = \frac{9-(6)+5(6)}{(9)}= \frac{3+30}{9} = \frac{33}{9} = \frac{11}{3}$

Ron what to make a rectangle basketball court if the length is 4 whole number 3/4 yd and the width is 3 whole number is 2/5 yd.

hoa [83]

A = L * W

A = 4 3/4 * 3 2/5.....turn them into improper fractions
A = 19/4 * 17/5
A = 323/20 or 16 3/20 yds^2 <==

ILL Give you brainlist if you answer it’s really URGENT PLS

forsale [732]

Answer:

A (3/2, 9/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take the first solution which is (3/2 , 9/2). If we substitute 3/2 into x we get the equation (3/2)^2 we get y as 9/4 not 9/2, therefore (3/2 , 9/2) does not lie on the curve y = x^2
