Mathematics

Answer:

y= 1 and X=4

Step-by-step explanation:

8x +7y =39

8x +2y =34

elimination method(we multiply 8x+7y=39 or 8x + 2y= 34 by -1 to eliminate 8x)

lets multiply 8x+7y = 39 by - 1

-8x -7y = -39

8x +2y = 34

(8x-8x)+(2y-7y)= (-39+34)

0 + (-5y) = -5

-5y= -5......dividing both sides by -5

<em> y = 1</em>

8x +2y =34....... substituting y by 1

8x +2(1)= 34

8x + 2= 34

8x = 34-2

8x = 32.....dividing both sides by 8

<em>x = 4</em>

Lets check;

8x +2y = 34

8(4) +2(1) = 34

32 + 2 =34

<em>34 = 34</em>

8x + 7y = 39

8(4) + 7(1) = 39

32 + 7 =39

<em>39 = 39</em>

What is the slope of the line with equation y=-5x
harina [27]
An equation in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In this case, our y-intercept is 0, so we're left with y = -5x.

-5 is in the place of m, which means -5 is our slope.


The slope of y = -5x is -5.

A car takes 4 hours to cover a distance, if it travels at a speed of 60 mph.
Katena32 [7]

Hello!

In order to solve this equation,we must first find out what distance is being traveled in 4 hours. If we travel 4 hours, at a constant speed of 60 miles,we must multiple those two numbers to find the distance travelled.

60x4 is 240.

This means we must divide 240 by 3 hours to find our constant rate of speed.

240 divided by 3 is 80.

This means, we would need to travel 80 mph to arrive to the same location in three hours.

x=80.

Hope this helps & good luck.
