Solve the following system : -x + 5y = 8 and 3x + 7y = -2

Mathematics
1 answer:
poizon [28]3 years ago

-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 380.5 rounded to the nearest whole number
Lisa [10]

Answer:

It will be 381. You round up if it is five and over, and round down if 5 and below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A decimal cannot be a whole number so rounding to the nearest whole number means getting rid of the decimal. You do this by rounding up if it 5 and up, and rounding down if it is 5 and below. 380.5 means you would round up to 381. If it it were 380.4, you would round down to 380.
