Step 1: Set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x.

3x -5 = 6x - 8

3x + (-5+5) = 6x -8 + 5

(3x - 6x) = (6x - 6x) - 3

-3x/-3 = -3/-3

x = 1

Step 2: To solve for y take one of the given equation of your choice (for the purpose of this explanation I will only do y = 3x - 5) and replace x with 1, then solve for y

y = 3(1) - 5

y = 3 - 5

y = -2

(1,-2)

Check:

-2 = 3(1) - 5 ---> - 2 = -2

-2 = 6(1) - 8 ---> -2 = -2

Hope this helped!

Answer:

x=1

and y= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x-5 y=6x-8

On equating the two equations:

3x-5= 6x-8

Taking terms of x on one side and constant terms on the other

6x-3x= 8-5

3x= 3

Dividing both sides by 3, we get

x=1

Now, putting value of x in y=3x-5, we get

y=3-5

= -2

Hence, Solution is:

x=1 and y= -2

A new health drink has 130% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for a certain vitamin. The RDA for this vitamin is 50 mg.

Anika [276]

Answer:
58.5 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Drink: 130% of RDA of vitamin X
RDA vitamin X = 45mg
130% of 45 = mg in the drink
130% = 130/100 = 1.3
130% of 45 = 1.3*45 = 58.5

So, this new drink has 58.5 mg of vitamin

Factor the expression below x^2-16x+64

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

x^2+16x+64 is a perfect square

that is (x+a)^2=x^2+2ax+a^2

compare the coefficients of the x term

--> 2a=16 --> a=8

---> x^2+16a+64=(x+8)^2

plz mark me as brainliest :)

Your electric bill has been as follows for the past six months:

kakasveta [241]

You want to find the monthly average over the past 6 months.

July: $78.56

August: $30.21

September: $81.20

October: $79.08

November: $66.18

December: $100.75

Add all of these up

(July) $78.56

(August) $30.21

(September) $81.20

(October) $79.08

(November) $66.18

(December) + $100.75

----------------------------------------------

(Total cost) $435.88

There are 6 months you are calculating for, therefore divide the total (combined) cost of 6 months with the total number of months (in this case, 6)

$435.88 (total cost of 6 months) ÷ 6 (months)

The average cost per month of over the past 6 months is $72.66.

The sum of three numbers is 8. The third is 9

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

→ First value is 1

→ Second value is 2

→ Third value is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

• let numbers be x, y and z

${ \tt{z = 8y - 9 - - - (eqn \: 1)}} \\ \\ { \tt{10x = 8y - 7 - - - (eqn \: 2)}} \\ \\ { \tt{x + y + z = 8 - - - (eqn \: 3)}}$

• from eqn 2, make x the subject:

${ \tt{x = \frac{8y - 7}{10} }} \\$

• substitute all variables in eqn 3:

${ \tt{ \frac{8y - 7}{10} + y + 8y - 9 = 8}} \\ \\ { \tt{8y - 7 + 10y + 80y - 90 = 80}} \\ \\ { \tt{98y = 177}} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: y = 1.8}}}$

• find z

${ \tt{z = 8y - 9}} \\ \\ { \tt{z = 8(1.8) - 9}} \\ \\ { \tt{z = 14.4 - 9}} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: z = 5.4 \: }}}$

• find x:

${ \tt{x = \frac{8(1.8) - 7}{10} }} \\ \\ { \tt{x = \frac{7.4}{10} }} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: x = 0.74 \: }}}$

Rounding to nearest value:

${ \boxed{ \rm{x = 1}}} \\ { \boxed{ \rm{y =2 }}} \\ { \boxed{ \rm{z = 5}}}$
