Answer:
I think the answer is P(x>178)
Step-by-step explanation:
It was used to see how your basic math skills
2.5y + 3x = 27
5x - 2.5y = 5
Align the variables to make solving this easier.
2.5y + 3x = 27
-2.5y + 5x = 5
You can see that the 2.5y and -2.5y cancel each other out. Then add the 3x and 5x, and 27 + 5.
3x = 27
5x = 5
8x = 32
Divide both sides by 8.
x = 4
Now input that x into one of the equations to get y.
2.5y + 3(4) = 27
2.5y + 12 = 27
2.5y = 15
y = 6
The answer to this system of equations is x = 4, y = 6. (4, 6)

Answer:
-4 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Many people find it easier to factor out -1, then do the addition. The fractions need a common denominator before they can be added. A suitable denominator that is a multiple of both 4 and 8 is 8.
The fraction 1/4 = (1/4)(2/2) = (1·2)/(4·2) = 2/8.
__
So, the problem can be rewritten as ...
-(1 7/8 +2 2/8)
= -((1+2) +(7/8 +2/8))
= -(3 +9/8)
The fraction 9/8 is an improper fraction equal to 8/8 +1/8 = 1 1/8. Then the sum is ...
-(3 +1 1/8) = -4 1/8
Slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (10 - 7)/(2 --1)
m = 3/3
m = 1
To find the equation
y = mx + b
m is slope
y = 1x + b
plug in one of the equations to solve for b
10 = 1(2) + b
10 = 2 + b
subtract 2 from both sides
8 = b
The equation is
y = 1x + 8
or you can write it as
y = x + 8
Hope this helps
