<h2>Answer:</h2>

The first step would be to multiply the bottom equation by -1 to eliminate x, then you would combine like terms, like 5y + 2y, and 16 + 10.

Answer:

Subtracting the 2 equations

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5y = 16

3x + 2y = 10

Subtract it;

3y = 6

Divide both sides b 3;

y = 2

Substitute y;

3x + 5y = 16

3x + 5(2) = 16

3x + 10 = 16

Subtract 10 from both sides;

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3;

x = 2

(x, y) = (2, 2)

What is the measure of 4?
zlopas [31]

Answer:

∠ 4 = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ 5 and 100° are vertical angles and are congruent , so

∠ 5 = 100°

∠ 4 and ∠ 5 are same- side interior angles and sum to 180° , that is

∠ 4 + ∠ 5 = 180°

∠ 4 + 100° = 180° ( subtract 100° from both sides )

∠ 4 = 80°

7x-3y=-7 slope of line perpendicular
kap26 [50]

Answer: -3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the slope of the line

y = mx + c where m is the slope of the line
Rearrange the equation and we get

3y = 7x + 7
y = 7x/3 + 7/3

So the slope of the line 7x - 3y = -7 is 7/3

There is another rule that states: The product of the slopes of two lines perpendicular to each other is -1

So, the slope of the line perpendicular to 7x - 3y = -7 is -1/(7/3) = -3/7
