The easiest way to solve this problem is to put (2, -5) into both equations and see if it satisfies/works for both of them. 2 = x and -5 = y.
So for <span>2x + 5y = -19,
</span><span>2(2) + 5(-5) = -19
4 - 25 = -19
-21 </span><span>≠ -19.
You can continue and try it out for </span><span>6y - 8x = -54
6(-5) - 8(2) = -54
-30 - 16 = -54
-46</span> ≠ -54
But since (2, -5) already doesn't work for one equation, it cannot be a solution to the system of equations.
Option A
is one way to determine the factors of 
by grouping
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Factoring by grouping means that you will group terms with common factors before factoring
<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>
Group the first two terms together and then the last two terms together.
We can see that 
is common in first two terms
And 3 is common in last two terms
Factor them out
Thus option A is correct
Answer:
8/15 = 0.53 = 53%
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability is the number of chances divided by the total number of cards. The total number of cards is 8 + 6 +1 = 15. There are 8 red cards and therefore 8 chances to get red.
8 out of 15 cards is 8/15. The probability is 8/15.
Answer:
???????
Step-by-step explanation:
triangles add to 180 degrees
lets call the unknown angle y
82 + x + y = 180
we also know that y + (2x-20 ) = 180 because it is a straight line
lets solve this for y
y + (2x-20 ) = 180
subtract (2x-20) from each side
y = 180 - (2x-20)
y = 180 - 2x + 20
y = 200 -2x
substitute this in the triangle equation
82 + x + y = 180
82 + x + 200 -2x = 180
combine like terms
282 -x = 180
subtract 282 from each side
-x = -102
multiply by -1 on each side
x = 102
the exterior angle is 2x-20
exterior angle is 2(102) -20
exterior angle is 204-20
exterior angle is 184
This is impossible.
There is a mistake with this problem
The triangle is not a triangle. Angle y would be negative. y=-4
