Hi again!

2x - y = 80
5y = x

P.S. Are you struggling with Algebra, equations and inequations....my advice to you is to start using Khan Academy. It will help you a lot!

Ok stop talking and let's get to work!

We need to solve 2x - y = 80 for y

2x - y = 80

-y = 80 - 2x

Multiply both sides by -1 because y cannot be negative

-y * -1 = -1(80 - 2x)

y = 2x - 80

Now we can substitute 2x - 80 for y in 5y = x

5y = x

5(2x - 80) = x

Use the distributive property

(5)(2x) + (5)(-80) = x

10x - 400 = x

Add -x on both sides

10x - 400 - x = x - x

9x - 400 = 0

Add 400 on both sides

9x - 400 + 400 = 0 + 400

9x = 400

Divide both sides by 9

9x/9 = 400/9

x = 400/9

To find y, we can substitute 400/9 for x in y = 2x - 80

y = 2x - 80

y = 2(400/9) - 80

y = 800/9 - 80

y = 800/9 - 80/1

y = 800/9 + -720/9

y = (800 - 720)/9

y = 80/9

Thus,

The answers are: y = 80/9 and x = 400/9

As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you

5 = 5/8x + 1/2x - 4 with work please :) its due in a couple minutes ​
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

5/8x+1/2x-4=5

or, 5(2x-4)+8x= 5

or, 10x- 20+8x=5

or, 10x-8x= 20+5

or, 2x= 25

or,x= 25/2

:.x= 25/2

Step-by-step explanation:

first we have to make denominator then we can criss cross multiply. we can make in same point .if there is plus we can subtract and if there is front minus if we take it back it must be plus. then we can put same point then we can divide

What is the slope of the line shown on the graph?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope, m, can be determined using any two points, and slope is defined as

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), I’ll use (0,0) and (5,-1)

m=(-1-0)/(5-0)

m=-1/5

Solve for x.<br> (17x - 23)<br> (&amp;r - 4)*<br> -(3x + 17)
Finger [1]

Answer:

17rx2−23rx−71x+75

Step-by-step explanation:

(17x−23)(xr−4)−(3x+17)

=(17x−23)(xr−4)+−1(3x+17)

=(17x−23)(xr−4)+−1(3x)+(−1)(17)

=(17x−23)(xr−4)+−3x+−17

=(17x)(xr)+(17x)(−4)+(−23)(xr)+(−23)(−4)+−3x+−17

=17rx2+−68x+−23rx+92+−3x+−17

=17rx2+−68x+−23rx+92+−3x+−17

=(17rx2)+(−23rx)+(−68x+−3x)+(92+−17)

=17rx2+−23rx+−71x+75

The team ran
juin [17]

The team ran 2 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; The track is \frac{3}{4} miles long and the team ran 2\frac{2}{3} laps on it. To calculate the distance run we multiply the number of laps ran with the distance on each lap.

Distance run = Number of laps × Distance on each lap.

Step 2; We convert 2\frac{2}{3} from a mixed fraction into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number with the denominator of the fraction and add with it the numerator of the same fraction whereas the denominator remains unchanged. To convert the fraction 2\frac{2}{3} = ((2 × 3) + 2) / 3 = \frac{8}{3}.

Distance run = Number of laps × Distance on each lap = \frac{8}{3} × \frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{4} = 2 miles.
