If you would like to solve 2x + 5y = - 13 and 3x - 4y = -8, you can do this using the following steps:

<span>2x + 5y = -13 /*4
3x - 4y = -8 /*5
</span>_________________
8x + 20y = -52
15x - 20y = -40
_________________
8x + 15x + 20y - 20y = -52 - 40
23x = -92 /23
x = -92 / 23
x = -4

<span>2x + 5y = -13
</span>2 * (-4) + 5y = -13
-8 + 5y = -13
5y = -13 + 8
5y = -5
y = -1

(x, y) = (-4, -1)

The correct result would be D.) <span>(-4, -1).</span>

Answer:

36°

Step-by-step explanation:

Like your other question, the angles of the triangle must add up to 180. The tangent line is perpendicular to the center, so the angle must be 90°.

90° + 54° + 36° = 180°

Answer:

The probability of a big storm is 40%.

Now, you can find a D10 (a die with 10 faces)

You can assign 4 numbers (0, 1, 2, 3) to the event "there is a major storm"

in this way, you have 40% of having a storm.

and the other 6 numbers (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) to the event "there is not a major storm". This means that we have 60% of not having a storm.

now, when you roll the dice you can see if a year there will be a storm or not.

Now, you roll the dice 5 times (for the 5 years) and take note of the results and the number of storms in those 5 rolls.

Now do the same thing a bunch of times, at least 25 times.

Now, you recorded the results in each set of rolls, now see the number of sets that have at least years with storms.

Take that number and divide it by the total number of sets of data (in this case 25, for example)

The result is the probability that we are looking for.

A restaurant manager can spend at most $400 a day for operating costs and payroll. It costs $100 each day to operate the bank an

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The restaurant Manager can afford 6 employees for the day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Manager can spend at most of $400.

Total Money ≤ $400

Cost to operate bank = $100

Cost for each employee = $50

Let number of employees for the day be $x$

Hence the equation will become;

$50x + 100 \leq 400$

Solving this equation we get;

$50x + 100 \leq 400\\50x \leq 400-100\\50x \leq 300\\x\leq \frac{300}{50}\\\\x\leq 6$

Hence, The restaurant Manager can afford 6 employees for the day.
