Solve this system of equations. y = 5x +20 and y = -2x -8

Mathematics

Answer:

y = 0

x = -4

( x, y ) = ( -4 , 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x + 20

y = -2x - 8

Substitute

5x + 20 = -2x - 8

Add 8 on both sides

5x + 20 + 8 = -2x - 8 + 8

5x + 28 = -2x

Subtract 5x on both sides

5x - 5x + 28 = -2x - 5x

28 = -7x

Divide by -7 on both sides

28/-7 = -7x/-7

-4 = x

Now that you have x, you can substitute it in one of the equations that was given to find the value of y.

y = 5x + 20

y = 5(-4) + 20

y = -20 + 20

y = 0

Or....

y = -2x - 8

y = -2(-4) - 8

y = 8 - 8

y = 0

They will both be 0 no matter what

Point form = ( -4, 0 )

Hope this helped

M is between L and N. LM = 7x-1, MN = 2x +4, and LN = 12. find the value of ‘x’ an determine if M is a bisector.
Sholpan [36]

LM + MN = LN

7x - 1 + 2x + 4 = 12

9x + 3 = 12

9x = 12 - 3

9x = 9

x = 9/9

x = 1

The distance to the top of the building above the range finder can be found from the Pythagorean theorem.

Adding the height of the range finder, we find the height of the building to be
