Okay so for substitution, chose one of of the equations to solve for x. Let's solve for the second one. So you have 2x-8y=32.
Start by adding 8y to both sides:
2x=8y+32.
Then you have to get x by itself so you divide both sides by 2 which will give you:
x=4y+16.

Now you have:
6x-4y=36
x=4y+16 (this was 2x-8y=32)

Now, plug in the second equation to the first one. You would do so by plugging in the second equation to where you see x. You would have:
6(4y+16)-4y=36

Now, multiply the 6 with the 4y and 16. you would then have:
24y+96-4y=36.

Now, combine your like terms to get:
20y+96=36
Then subtract 96 to both sides:
20y=-60
Then divide both sides so that you have y all by itself:
y=-30!

You now have the answer for y, so now plug what you got for y into the other equation: x+4y=16:
x+4(-30)=60
Solve for x:
x-120=60
add 120 to both sides:
x=180!
so Your answer is Y=-30 and X=180

I hope this helped:)

Find the points where the line y = x - 1 intersects the circle x2 + y2 = 13

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

(-2,-3) and (3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

sub in x-1 into y

x^2 + (x-1)^2 = 13

x^2 + (x-1)(x-1)=13

x^2 + x^2 -2x +1 = 13

2x^2 -2x-12=0

solve for x by factoring (quadratic formula, product sum etc..)

x= -2 and 3

plug in those values into y=x-1 and solve for y

A spherical ball with a volume of 972π in.3 is packaged in a box that is in the shape of a cube. The edge length of the box is e

aivan3 [116]

To find the volume of the box you will use the volume of the sphere formula to find the radius of the circular region of the sphere. You wil then double the radius to find the diameter.

V = 4/3 x pi x r^3
972 x pi= 4/3 x pi x r^3
729 = r^3
The cubic root of 729 is 9 because 9 x 9 x 9 = 729.

The radius is 9 inches, and the diameter is 18 inches.

The volume of the box is 18 in x 18 in x 18 in or 5832 in.³.

OlgaM077 [116]

The probability that both specific qualified applicants will be among the eight selected is given by:
$P(2\ specified)=\frac{2C2\times 48C6}{50C8}=0.0229$
The probability that the two will get apartments on the North side is given by:
$P(North)=\frac{3C2\times5C0}{8C2}=0.107$
The probability that the two will get apartments on the South side is given by:
$P(South)=\frac{5C2\times3C0}{8C2}=0.357$
The events '2 apartments on North side' and '2 apartments on South side' are mutually exclusive. Therefore the probability the two specific qualified applicants will be on the same side of town is 0.107 + 0.357 = 0.464.
Finally, the probability that two specific qualified applicants will be selected for apartments on the same side of town is found from:
$0.0229\times0.464=0.01063$

Given the function f(x) = 4(2)x, section a is from x = 1 to x = 2 and section b is from x = 3 to x = 4. part

Aliun [14]

A. Average rate of change for x=1 to 2: 4(2²)-4(2)=16-8=8; from x=3 to 4: 4(2⁴)-4(2³)=64-32=32.
b. Section b is 32/8=4 times greater. As the exponent of 2 increases, the gaps between consecutive powers of 2 gets wider and therefore the rate of change is greater.
