Answer:

x = 7

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 equations. The substitution method takes one equation and puts it into the other and solves for 1 variable. Then you take that answer and put into any one equation and solve for the other variable.

Since equation #2 is already given for y = SOMETHING, we take that something and put it into "y" of the 1st equation. Shown below:

x+y=5\\x+(x-9)=5\\x+x-9=5\\2x=5+9\\2x=14\\x=\frac{14}{2}\\x=7

We got x = 7

Now, we know from Equation #2, y = x - 9, so

y = x - 9

y = 7 - 9

y = -2

Hence,

y = -2

In coordinate pair, the answer is (7, -2)

Eli needs pieces of ribbon cut into strips that are 2 1/2 feet long. The roll of ribbon is 7 1/2 feet long. Which expression cou
Anna71 [15]
Hi there! 2 ½ is equivalent to 2.5 and 7 ½ is equivalent to 7.5. An expression that can be used to find out how many strips can be cut is this:

2.5x = 7.5

This is because the length of the ribbon needed to be cut is 2.5 ft long and we are looking for how many of that length could be cut out of a roll of ribbon that is 7.5ft long. All you have to do for this is divide both sides by 2.5 to isolate the variable. 7.5/2.5 is 3. x = 3. Eli can cut 3 strips of 2½ ft long ribbon.

If 5+6i is a root of the polynomial function f(x),which of the following must also be a root of f(x)
Lostsunrise [7]
The complex conjugate root theorem states that if a+bi (with a and b being numbers) is a root, then a-bi is also a root. Plugging that in here, this means that 5-6i is also a root
