Answer:

(- 4, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = x + 5 → (1)

x - 5y = - 9 → (2)

Substitute y = x + 5 into (2)

x - 5(x + 5) = - 9 ← distribute and simplify left side

x - 5x - 25 = - 9

- 4x - 25 = - 9 ( add 25 to both sides )

- 4x = 16 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

x = - 4

Substitute x = - 4 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

Substituting into (1)

y = - 4 + 5 = 1

Solution is (- 4, 1 )

The perimeter of a rectangle is dependent on the length of each of its sides. Suppose the base of a rectangle is two more than i

Bezzdna [24]

Perimeter=4h+4

If the base is 2 more than the height, it gives us the equation:
b=h+2

The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle can be though of as 2b+2h, so substituting in (h+2) for b from the first equation, we get 2(h+2)+2h.

This can be simplified to be 2h+4+2h or 4h+4

A unicycle wheel has a diameter of 20 inches. How many inches will the unicycle travel in 8 revolutions? Use π = 3.14 and round

cluponka [151]

Answer:

502.40 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the circumference of the wheel, which is given by pi times the diameter:

C = (3.14)(20) = 62.8 inches

That's how far the unicycle will travel in 1 revolution, so from there just multiply by 8

D = (62.8)(8) = 502.40 inches
