Solve by Elimination x-8y=18 -16x +16y=-8

Mathematics

<h3><u>The value of y is -2.5</u></h3><h3><u>The value of x is -2.</u></h3>

x - 8y = 18

-16x + 16y = -8

We can multiply each term in the first equation by 2 to better assist this elimination.

2x - 16y = 36

Now, we can use elimination.

Add equations together.

-14x = 28

Divide both sides by -14

x = -2

Now that we have a value for x, we can solve for y.

-2 - 8y = 18

Add 2 to both sides.

-8y = 20

Divide both sides by -8

y = -2.5

Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair. 2y = x + 2 x - 3y= -5 O A. (2, 2)
Darya [45]

Answer:

(4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2y = x + 2

x - 3y = -5

Rearrange the second equation to equal y.

x - 3y = -5

x + 5 = 3y

(x+5)/3 = y

Substitute into the first equation.

2y = x +2

2[(x+5)/3] = x + 2

(2x + 10)/3 = x + 2

2x + 10 = 3(x + 2)

2x + 10 = 3x + 6

10 - 6 = 3x - 2x

4 = x

Therefore, the correct ordered pair is (4,3) since x is equal to 4.

How do i find the standard deviation of test scores
user100 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the mean (average) of the five test scores.

Subtract that mean from each of the five original test scores. Square each of the differences.

Find the mean (average) of each of these differences you found in Step 2.

Take the square root of this final mean from #3. This is the standard deviation.
