X + 5y = 1 . . . . (1)
8x - 2y = 3 . . . .(2)
Solution 1.
From (1), x = 1 - 5y
substituting for x in (2), we have:
8(1 - 5y) - 2y = 3
8 - 40y - 2y = 3
8 - 42y = 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
x = 1 - 5(5/42) = 1 - 25/42 = 17/42.
Solution 2.
Multiply (1) by 8, to get:
8x + 40y = 8 . . . . . (3)
(3) - (2) = 40y - (-2y) = 8 - 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
substitute for y into (3), to get:
8x + 40(5/42) = 8
8x + 100/21 = 8
8x = 8 - 100/21 = 68/21
x = (68/21)/8 = 17/42

Answer: if Gregory draws the segment with endpoints A and A’, then the midpoint will lie on the line of reflection.
Explanation:
Given that a triangle ABC is reflected in triangle A'B'C'
Here reflection is done on a line
If you imagine the line as a mirror then ABC will have image on the mirror line as A'B'C'
Recall that in a mirror the object and image would be equidistant from the mirror and also the line joining the image and object would be perpendicular to the mirror
But note that corresponding images will only be perpendicular bisector to the line
So A and A' only will be corresponding so AA' will have mid point on line
Option 1 is right
The angle where the letter S is which would be angle RSQ = 1/2 x (131 +43) = 87
the angle opposite os RSQ would be PST and that would equal the same as RSQ which is 87
so 2 angles = 87 +87 = 174
so the other 2 angles need to equal 360 - 174 = 186
since opposite angles equal each other divide that by 2 so 186 / 2 = 93
so both angle RST and PSQ are 93
The answer is D 93 degrees
