Answer:

a = 10/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We write the linear function as follows:

f(x) = mx + b   where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

f(6) = 6m + b = 8

f(2) = 2m + b = 20    Subtracting these 2 equations:

4m = -12

m = -3.

and  -3 * 2 + b = 20 so:

b =   20 + 6 = 26.

So we have the linear function:

f(x) = -3 x + 26

f(a) = 16 = -3 a + 26

-3 a = 16-26

a = -10 * -3 =  10/3.

Use the substitution methods to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair. y=7x+8 y=x+20
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution by substitution method

y=7x+8

∴y-7x=8

and y=x+20

∴y-x=20

Suppose,

-7x+y=8→(1)

and -x+y=20→(2)

Taking equation (1), we have

-7x+y=8

⇒y=7x+8→(3)

Putting y=7x+8 in equation (2), we get

-x + 7x + 8 = 20

6x = 20-8

6x = 12

x= 12 / 6

x = 2

substitute for x in equation (3)

y = 7(x) + 8

y = 7(2) + 8

y = 22
