Answer:

y = 6

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

rearrange the first equation in terms of x

x = (y - 2)/2

substiute x in the second equation

y = -5[(y-2)/2] +16

Now simpilify and solve for y

y = (-5y + 10)/2 +16

y = -5/2y + 5 + 16

y + 5/2y = 5 + 16

3.5y = 21

y = 6

Now substitue y in the first equation to solve for x

x = (6 - 2)/2

x = 2

Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

y = 2x + 2

y = -5x + 16

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitution

Substitute in y: 2x + 2 = -5x + 16
Add 5x on both sides: 7x + 2 = 16
Subtract 2 on both sides: 7x = 14
Divide 7 on both sides: x = 2

Step 3: Solve for y

Define equation: y = 2x + 2
Substitute in x: y = 2(2) + 2
Multiply: y = 4 + 2
Add: y = 6

One quarter of Steve's baseball cards are from his dad's collection. Another 0.2 are from his uncle , and 0.5 are from his broth

irina [24]

.25+ .2 +.5= .95 so cousins cards make up 5% so 30 cards is half of that so that make 30 cards 2.5%. So 2.5 x 40 = 100% and 30 x 40=1200..... So Steve has 1200 baseball cards...... Hopefully I'm right... it just feels like it too much cards...;)

The table shows the height of a plant as it grows. Which equation in point slope form gives the plant’s height at any time

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

$y-16=8(x-2)$ is the equation represent the point slope form gives the plant's height at any time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope intercept form: For any two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ then,

the general form

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ for linear equations; where m is the slope given by:

$m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Consider any two points from the table;

let A= (2 , 16) and B =(4, 32)

First calculate the slope of the line AB:

$m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{32-16}{4-2}=\frac{16}{2}$ = 8

Therefore, slope of the line m = 8

Then,

the equation of line is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Substitute the value of m=8 and (2, 16) above we get;

$y-16=8(x-2)$

Therefore, the equation in point slope form which gives the plant's height at any time is; $y-16=8(x-2)$ , where x is the time(months) and y is the plant height (cm)
