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)

iogann1982 [59]

slope m = - 2 → B

calculate m using the ' gradient formula '

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

choosing 2 'clear ' coordinates from the graph of the line

(x₁, y₁) = (0, 7) and (x₂, y₂) = (7, - 5\frac{(- 5 - 7)}{(6 - 0)}) = \frac{- 12}{6} = - 2

Vita has a pice of rope that is 5 meters long. She cuts the rope into pieces that are each 1/3 meter long. How many pieces does
sp2606 [1]
Normally you would divide something like this by the cuts made. So if there were cuts of 2 inches on a 10 inch rope, then you should divide 10 by 2. It's the same with this:
5/ \frac{1}{3} = 5*3, 15 \ pieces
Multiply by the reciprocal when you are dividing fractions.
