Answer: x = 14 and y = 10

Step-by-step explanation: What we have in the question is a pair of simultaneous equations as follows(

x = y + 4 ———(1)

2x - 3y = -2 ——(2)

Looking at both equations, one of the variables has a coefficient of 1, and as a result of that, we shall use the substitution method.

From equation (1), x = y + 4

Substitute for the value of x in equation (2)

2x - 3y = -2

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

2y + 8 -3y = -2

-y + 8 = -2

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation

-y +8 -8 = -2 -8

-y = -10

Divide both sides of the equation by -1

y = 10

Having calculated y, substitute for the value of y into equation (1)

x = y + 4

x = 10 + 4

x = 14

Therefore, x = 14 and y = 10

In a class of 30 students, 6 have a brother and 12 have a sister. There are 14 students
Elena-2011 [213]
30 students

14 have no siblings

that leaves 16 with siblings

6 have brothers and 12 have sisters which = 18 so 2 of the students have both a brother and a sister

2/30 students have a brother and a sister

An article retails for 27.50. The city sales tax is 6%, and the federal excise tax is 8%. How much does the article cost altoget
-Dominant- [34]
Cost of the article = $27.50
Amount of city sales tax = (27.50 x 6%) = $1.65
Amount of excise tax = (27.50 x 8%) = $2.20
From my knowledge, we pay city sales tax and federal excise tax when we buy something, so the total cost would be $31.35

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

<h2>The missing value is 2. The coordinate will be (-5, 2)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not properly written. Find the correct question below.

If x – 5y = -15 . Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation (-5, ____)

Let the coordinate of the variables be (x, y). Comparing the coordinates (x, y) with the given coordinate (-5, __), we will discover that x = -5. To get the y coordinate, we will substitute x = -5 into the given expression as shown;

If x – 5y = -15

-5 - 5y = -15

Adding 5 both sides

-5-5y+5 = -15+5

-5y = -10

Dividing both sides by -5;

-5y/-5 = -10/-5

y = 2

<u>Hence the missing value in the solution of the equation is 2</u>. The coordinate will be (-5, 2)
