1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(x, y) = (2, -6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract the first equation from the second.
(8x -2y) -(5x -2y) = (28) -(22)
3x = 6
x = 2
Substitute this into either equation and solve for y.
8(2) -2y = 28
8 -y = 14 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
y = 8 -14 = -6 . . . . add y-14 to both sides
The solution is (x, y) = (2, -6).

Answer:
My sister will swing the total distance = 40 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
On the first swing my sister travels a distance of 8 feet.
In every successive swing she travels 80% of the distance of the previous distance.
So the sequence formed by the distance traveled in every swing will be a geometric sequence.
First term of the sequence 'a' = 8 feet
common ratio 'r' = 0.80
Since this sequence is an infinite geometric sequence,
Sum of this sequence = [Since r < 1]
=
=
= 40 feet
Therefore, my sister will cover the total distance = 40 feet
