Answer to Question 5:
y = 5
x = 10

Answer to the Above question:
x = 5y - 37 (1)
x + 2y = 26 (2)

Substitute x into equation 2, therefore;
(5y - 37) + 2y = 26
simplify
7y - 37 = 26
7y = 63
y = 9
Then substitute y=9 into any equation (choosing the easiest to solve which is equation 1), in order to find a solution for the x-value.
Thus,
x = 5(9) - 37
x = 45 - 37
x = 8
The answer is,
y=9, x=8

Suppose that during one period extreme cold,the average daily temperature decreased 1 1/2 F each day. How many days did it take

Alenkasestr [34]

We have been given that during one period extreme cold, the average daily temperature decreased $1\frac{1}{2}$ degree F each day. We are asked to find number of days it will take for the temperature to decrease by 9 degree F.

First of all we will convert our mixed fraction into improper fraction.

$1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$

Now we will divide total temperature change (9) by average daily temperature change ( $\frac{3}{2}$ ) to find number of days.

$9\div\frac{3}{2}$

Dividing a number by a fraction is same as multiplying the number by reciprocal of the fraction.

$9\cdot\frac{2}{3}$

$3\cdot2=6$

Therefore, it will take 6 days for the temperature to decrease by 9 degree F.

A circle is described by the equation x2 + y2 + 14x + 2y + 14 = 0. What are the coordinates for the center of the circle and the

Alona [7]

We are given the expression of the equation of a circle that is x2 + y2 + 14x + 2y + 14 = 0. Using ocmpleting the squares:
x2 + y2 + 14x + 2y + 14 = 0(x+7)^2 + (y+1) ^2 = -14 + 49 + 1(x+7)^2 + (y+1) ^2 = 36 center thus is at (-7,-1) and the radius is equal ot square root of 36 equal to 6.
