Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + 2y = 8 → (1)

- 2x + 3y = 5 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 2y from both sides

x = 8 - 2y → (3)

Substitute x = 8 - 2y into (2)

- 2(8 - 2y) + 3y = 5 ← distribute and simplify left side

- 16 + 4y + 3y = 5

- 16 + 7y = 5 ( add 16 to both sides )

7y = 21 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = 3

Substitute y = 3 in (3) for corresponding value of x

x = 8 - 2(3) = 8 - 6 = 2

Thus x = 2 and y = 3

2x + 3y = 2(2) + 3(3) = 4 + 9 = 13

STatiana [176]

Substitute the variable for the value given.

11 - 3m becomes 11 - 3(2)

Now do the order of operations.

11 - 3(2) =
11 - 6 =
5

So, the answer is 5.

Power (denoted by PPP) can be defined as a function of work (denoted by WWW) and time (denoted by ttt) using this formula: P=\df

Amanda [17]

Answer:

$\dfrac{\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^2}{\text{s}^3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Power (denoted by P) can be defined as a function of work (denoted by W) and time (denoted by t) using this formula:

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

Unit of Work = $\dfrac{\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^2}{\text{s}^2}$

Unit for Time = s

Therefore, the Unit of Power

$=$Unit for W \times \dfrac{1}{\text{Unit for time}}$

$=\dfrac{\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^2}{\text{s}^2} \times \dfrac{1}{s} \\=\dfrac{\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^2}{\text{s}^3}$

An appropriate unit for power is: $\dfrac{\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^2}{\text{s}^3}$

The sum of four consecutive negative integers is -26. what are the integers

Naily [24]

X + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = -26

Even though it says negative, the same rules apply.

4x + 6 = -26
4x = -32
x = -8

-8, -7, -6, -5

Hope this helps!
