Answer:

x = 10 / 7 (or) 1.43 <rounded to 2 decimal place>

y = - 54 / 7 (or) -7.71 <rounded to 2 decimal place>

Step-by-step explanation:

Another way to rewrite (5x-3y, 3x-y) = (16, 12),

5x - 3y = 16 -- (1)

3x - y = 12 -- (2)

Rewriting (1), y = -5/3x - 16/3 -- (1)'

Substituting (1)' into (2),

3x + 5/3x + 16/3 = 12

14/3x = 20/3

x = 10 / 7 -- (3)

Substituting (3) into (2),

3(10/7) - y = 12

30/7 - y = 12

-y = 54 / 7

y = - 54/7-- (4)

Therefore,

x = 10 / 7 (or) 1.43 <rounded to 2 decimal place>

y = - 54 / 7 (or) -7.71 <rounded to 2 decimal place>

Helpity help??????????????????????????????
Nuetrik [128]
Answer:
Equation: 8=4b
b=2
Explanation:
The green line equals 8 and the black time equals 2b+2b. So to form an equation where the green line equals the black line it would look like: 8=2b+2b
8 being the green line
2b+2b being the black line
Then the directions tell us to combine like terms, like terms are terms that are the same such as 2b in this problem, and to combine them means to add them together.
So, 2b+2b= 4b
So the answer is, 8= 4b

In order to solve this equation divide both sides by 4.
Which leaves you with: 8/4= b
Now solve 8/4:
Which gives you:
b=2

Suppose a triangle has sides a, b, and c, and the angle opposite the side of length a is acute. What must be true?
Ket [755]
3pi/7 < pi/2 because 3/7 < 1/2, and pi/2 is a right angle. Conclusion: the angle opposite side a is an acute angle. In this situation the triangle could be a right triangle, in which case C would be true, but it does not have to be a right triangle, so don´t choose C. Similarly, it could be an acute triangle, in which case B would be true, but it does not have to be, so don´t choose B. Also, A says the angle opposite side a is obtuse, which is false. So don´t choose A. That leaves D, which says the angle opposite side a is acute, which we know is true. So the answer is <span>D. b^2 + c^2 > a^2</span>

The Census Bureau estimates that in 2020, 15 of the 50 states will have a Spanish-speaking majority. What percent of the states
Vinvika [58]
The answer is:  [C]:  "30%" .
_____________________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________________
Note that: "%" ; or "percent" means "out of 100" ; or "divided by 100" .
______________________________________________________
Method 1) 

15/50 = ?/ 100 ;

Look at the denominators:

50 * (what value?) = 100 ? ;  → "100 ÷ 50 = 2" ;

→ 50 * 2 = 100 ;

So:  "15/50 = (15*2)/(50*2) = "30/100" ; which is "30%" .
___________________________________________
Method 2:
___________________________________________
 "15/50" = (15÷5) / (50÷5) = 3/10 ; 

3/10 = (3*10) / (10*10) = 30/100 ; which is:  "30%" .
__________________________________________
Method 3:  (slight variation of "Method 2" above):
___________________________________________
 "15/50" = (15÷5) / (50÷5) = 3/10 ; 

3/10 = 0.3 = 0.30 = (0.30 * 100) % =  " 30% " .
