Y = -3x+8
y = -5x-2
------------
y = 5(-3x+8)
y = 3(-5x-2)
---------------
y = -15x+40
y = -15x-6
--------------
y = -15x+40
- -
y = -15x-6
--------------
y = 46

y = -3x+8
46 = -3x+8
-8 -8
---------------
38 = -3x
---- ----
-3 -3
12.666...=x
(12.666.,46) ← Answer

Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

notice that they both equatl y
therefor they are equal
-3x+8=y=-5x-2
-3x+8=-5x-2
add 5x to both sides
2x+8=-2
minus 8 from both sides
2x=-10
divide by 2
x=-5

plug in -5 for x in any equation to evaluate y

y=-3x+8
y=-3(-5)+8
y=15+8
y=23

the solution is
x=-5
y=23

(-5,23)

At a schools field day, students will throw table tennis balls then measure the distance. There are 626 students in the school.

Answer: 105 packs

Step-by-step explanation: The correct answer is 105 packs of table tennis balls. You need a total of 626 balls, so you divide this by 6 because that is what a standard package contains. The formula is 626/6 = 104.3. You will need 104 packs plus .3 of a pack, which means that you need to round it up to 105 packs of table tennis balls.

Problem PageQuestion The mass of a radioactive substance follows a continuous exponential decay model, with a decay rate paramet

asambeis [7]

Answer:

t = 1.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Model

The exponential model is often used to simulate the behavior of a magnitude that either grow or decay in proportion to the existing amount of that magnitude.

The model can be expressed as

$M=M_oe^{kt}$

In this case, Mo is the initial mass of the radioactive substance and k is a constant which value is positive if the mass is growing or negative if the mass is decaying.

The value of k is not precisely given in the question, we are assuming $k=-0.2$
