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

If f(x)=5x^4+3, then what is the remainder when f(x) is divided by x-1?

This is actually fairly simple. If you take the x-1 and set it equal to 0 you get 1. And if you plug that value into the x you get 8, which is the remainder. This is called the remainder value theorem.

Suppose a vine maple grows in height linearly. Four weeks after it is planted it stands 10.67 inches, and after seven weeks it i
dsp73

Answer:

Height (z)= 4+(5/3)(z)

Where z is the number of weeks

1). Slope = 4

2). Height= 5.67 inches

3).Height (z)= 4+(5/3)(z)

4).Height= 30.67 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

At week four

10.67= x+4y

Week 7

15.67= x+7y

Solving both equation simultaneously

3y= 5

Y= 5/3

15.67= x+7y

15.67= x+7(5/3)

15.67-35/3= x

15.67-11.67= x

4= x

The modeled equation is

Height (z)= 4+5/3(z)

Where z is the number of weeks

Slope of the function as compared to y= mx+c is 4

The first week of it's plantation

Height (z)= 4+5/3(z)

Height (1)= 4+5/3(1)

Height= 5.67 inches

After 16 weeks

Height (z)= 4+(5/3)(z)

Height (16)= 4+(5/3)(16)

Height= 30.67 inches
