Substitution doesn't work for this, but elimination does.

-6x-8y=-20 +6( x+6y=-6)

-6x-8y=-20 + 6x+36y=-36

-6x and 6x cancel each other, add -8 and 36 to get 28, and -20 and -36 to get -56.

28y=-56

divide by 28 on both sides.

Y= -2

Then substitute y into one of the equations.

x+6(-2)=-6

x-12=-6

x=6

The ordered pair is (6,-2).

If the scale factor is 5/3 what is the width of the new rectangle?
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

If 24 is the width then the answer is 40 and if 30 is the width then the answer is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

We multiply both sides by the scale factor to find both sides of the new rectangle. 30 * 5/3 = 50 and 24 * 5/3 = 40, so the sides of the new rectangle are 50 and 40. It matters whether 24 or 30 are the length or width, but if 24 is the width then the answer is 40 and if 30 is the width then the answer is 50

Jason's two test scores in English are 87 and 91. What must he score on the third test to get an average test score of 92 or bet
irga5000 [103]

You first find the average of the first two test scores. When you find the average, you add the two numbers together and then divide by two which gives you 89. You then plug in different scores above the number 89 and find the average of those (89 and x) to see which gives you an average of 92. It’s mostly a guess and check type of problem.
