Answer:

x=2, y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = 5

5x − 2y = 8.

Multiply the first equation by 2

2( 2x + y) = 5*2

4x +2y = 10

Add this to the 2nd equation to eliminate y

4x+2y = 10

5x -2y = 8

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

9x = 18

Divide by 9

9x/9 = 18/9

x = 2

Now find y

2x+y = 5

2(2)+y = 5

4+y = 5

Subtract 4 from each side

y = 5-4

y =1

Classify the following system of equations.

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

B) consistent, dependent

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

45x - 30y = -90

-12x + 8y = 24

Let us make y the subject in both equations to get:

Top equation

$y = \frac{3}{2}y + 3$

Bottom equation

$y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3$

We can see that both equations are identically the same.

There is going to be infinitely many solutions.

We say the system is consistent and dependent.

The correct choice is B

Draw clearly the graph of the linear equation. y=1/2x, where x= (-4 -2, 0, 2, 4)

aniked [119]

Answer:

(in attachment)

Step-by-step explanation:

you can find the points by inputting the x-values into the equation to solve for the y-values, then connecting the plotted points to create the line.

When x=-4

y=1/2(-4)

y=-2

(-4,-2)

Repeat for all values.

Can someone plsss help me?!

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Angle A is 101

Angle B is 79

Angle C is 83

Angle D is 97

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are congruent, which applies to C.

Lines are parallel so 79 and angle B are the same

Angle a is 101 because its a supplementary angle

Angle D is 97 because its also a supplementary angle so you subtract 83 from 180.

Jenae is sewing a quilt for her grandmother. She decides the area of the quilt will be x² + 18x + 80 square inches. If the lengt

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Width = (x + 8) inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the quilt is the length times the width and if we know the area and the length we can find the width by area / length.

Area = x^2 + 18x + 80 = (x + 10)(x + 8) - now we know that the length is (x + 10) so the width must be (x + 8) inches.

Let me know if you require more explanation.
