-x + 5y = 8

multiply this equation by 3

-3x + 15y = 24

now add it to the other equation  ( elimination)

-3x + 15y = 24

3x + 7y = -2

-----------------------

0x  + 22 y = 22

divide each side by 22

y =1


substitute into -x + 5y =8  to find x

-x + 5(1) = 8

-x + 5 = 8

-x =3

divide by -1

x =-3

Answer (-3,1)

Choice A

What is the average rate of change of the function f(x) = 5x ^ 2 + 20x between x = 0 and x = 0.5
Vitek1552 [10]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change on the interval [a, b] is the ratio ...

  (f(b) -f(x))/(b -a)

For your function and interval, it is ...

  (f(0.5) -f(0))/(0.5 -0)

Since f(0) = 0, this reduces to ...

  average rate of change = 2·f(0.5) = 2(5(0.5)² +20(0.5)) = 2(5/4 +10)

  average rate of change = 22.5

Of the 800 participants in a marathon 220 are running to raise money for a cause. How many participants out of 100 are running f
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 220/800 are running for a cause

Divide the top and bottom by 8 to get the fraction out of 100

220 /8 =27.5

800/8 = 100

27.5 /100 are running for a cause
