X + 5y - 10 = 0
x = 2y - 8

Substitute the value of x in the 2nd equation to the 1st equation.

2y - 8 + 5y - 10 = 0
7y - 18 = 0         This is the resulting equation in its simplest form.

Find the value of y to get the corresponding value of x.

7y -18 = 0 
7y = 18
y = 18/7
y = 2 4/7

x = 2y - 8
x = 2 (18/7) - 8
x = 36/7 - 8
x = 36/7 - (8 * 7/7) 
x = 36/7 - 56/7
x = (36-56)/7
x = -20/7
x = -2 6/7

t
o check:
x + 5y - 10 = 0
-20/7 + 5(18/7) - 10 = 0
-20/7 + 90/7 - 10 = 0
-20/7 + 90/7 - (10 * 7/7) = 0
-20/7 + 90/7 - 70/7 = 0
(-20+90-70)/7 = 0
0/7 = 0
0=0

Solve and check.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-15.4b + 13 = 9b-41.9

-15.4b-9b = -41.9 - 13

-24.4b= -54.9

divide both side by -24.4

-24.4b/-24.4 = -54.9/-24.4

minus divide by (-)

b= 2.25

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and contains the given point. y=4/3x-7; (7,2)
nalin [4]

Answer:

y = (4/3)x - (22/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's parellel than they have the same slope.

m = 4/3

y = mx + b

y = (4/3)x + b

2 = (4/3)(7) + b

(6/3) = (28/3) + b

-(28/3) -(28/3)

(-22/3) = b

In a year, there are 4 months that have 30 days. What is the ratio of the months with 30 days to the months with other than 30 d
Inessa05 [86]
In a year, there's a total of 12 months. So if 4 of them have 30 days, then the rest don't: 12 - 4 = 8 months. So 8 months out of 12 don't have 30 days, and 4 out of 12 have 30 days.
So the ratio of the months with 30 days to the months with other than 30 days is 4/8. To simplify your answer, you divide both sides by 2 and you get a ratio of 1/2.

All in all, the ratio is 1/2.

Hope this helps! :)
