Eight *(a number) plus 5*(another number) is -13.
translates to:
8(x) + 5(y) = -13
The sum of (the number) and (the other number) is 1.
translates to:
(x) + (y) = 1
We have a system of two equations involving two unknowns: x and y.

We can easily solve the system using Substitution or Elimination. Let's use Elimination this time.
We'll multiply the second equation by -8 so that the x's match up.

When we add the equations together, the x's will fall out of the equation, summing to zero. The 5y and -8y will sum to -3y and the right hand side will sum to -21.

Divide by -3,

Plug back into one of your original equations to find the value of x,

Subtract 7,
44
Step-by-step explanation:
The line is pointing to 44 and the small lines are counting by two
We have been given a diagram and we need to find the value of arc angle a.
According to one of the circle theorems the angle at the centre of a circle is twice the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc.
Therefore, arc angle a will be twice of the angle at circumference, that is, 34 degrees.
Therefore, value of angle a is:
