y = -1 + 3/8x

2x - 5y = 6

Substitute the first equation into the second equation, since y is already by itself.

2x - 5(-1 + 3/8x) = 6

2x + 5 - 15/8x = 6

2x - 15/8x = 1

16/8x - 15/8x = 1

1/8x = 1 Multiply 8 on both sides to get x by itself

x = 8


Plug x into either of the equations.

y = -1 + 3/8(8)

y = -1 + 3

y = 2


2(8) - 5y = 6

16 - 5y = 6

-5y = -10

y = 2

find the solution to the system. write your solution as an ordered pair (x,y) with no spaces, no solution or infinitely many 2x-
Kitty [74]

Answer:

(-8,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 2x-3y=-28 and x+6y=16

solve for a variable and then substitute back into other equation

x + 6y = 16

x = 16 - 6y; now use this in the other equation

2x - 3y = -28; substitute into x

2(16 - 6y) - 3y = -28; distribute 2

32 - 12y - 3y = -28; combine y's

32 - 15y = -28; isolate 15y

32 + 28 = 15y; add the numbers

60 = 15y; divide by 15

y = 4

Now use this to plug into other equation

x + 6y = 16; y=4

x + 6(4) = 16;

x + 24 = 16; subtract 24 from both sides

x = -8

a right triangle has a hypotenuse with a length of 20. the lengths of the legs are whole numbers. what are the lengths of the le
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

12;16

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem states that

a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are legs of a triangle, and c is the hypotenuse.

This means that we have to find 2 values that once squared, add up to 400. (20^2)

Based on this, we can use the values of 12 and 16 to satisfy this.

12^2+16^2=144*256=400

Therefore, the legs of the triangle are 12 and 16.

Which rule describes the relationship between the x- and y- coordinates on following graph?
hram777 [196]
Answer : B
The dot where the y- axis is 2 and x-axis is 0 would be your y-intercept . For the other 2 dots with planes (3,8) and (2,6) you would do rise over run and connect them. Go down 2 and left 1 so they meet and divide. Once you divide 2 by 1 you get 2 so your equation would be y=2x+2 a.k.a B

Answer: B
