Answer:

x =-5

y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-x + 5y = -20 ----------1

-2x + 4y = -10 ---------2

Multiply eqn 1 by 2 and eqn 2 by 1

This is done to make coefficients of x in both equations the same so that x can be eliminated

-2x + 10y = -40

-2x + 4y = -10

Subtracting

6y = -30

y = -5

Substitute y = -5 in eqn 1

-x+5×-5=-20

-x - 25= -20

-x = -20+25 = 5

x = -5

Answer:

x = -5

y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply the top equation by negative 2, you can add it to the bottom equation and cancel out the x:

-2(-x + 5y = -20) --> 2x - 10y = 40

Add this to the bottom equation top to bottom:

2x - 10y = 40

-2x + 4y = -10

You get:

-6y = 30

Then solve for y:

y = -5

Plug this back in for either equation and solve for x:

-x + 5(-5) = -20

-x -25 = -20

-x = 5

x = -5

Your answers are:

x = -5

y = -5

A single, standard cube is tossed. What is the probability of getting a number greater than 3?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

1/2 or 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

numbers on a dice:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

4 5 and 6 are above 3
therefore, there are 3 numbers that are greater than 3 on a standard dice

3/6 can be simplified to  1/2 which is also the same as 50%.

Still don’t understand omg asap please
djyliett [7]

We are given:

-14

To simplify this inequality, we can add 2 to all three sides. When we do that, we are left with:

-12

After we simplify that, we can divide all sides by -6. Here is what we get:

\frac{-12}{-6}

When you simplify, your final answer will be:

2>x\geq-4
