Answer:

Your solution is (6, -7).

Step-by-step explanation:

Combining the equations is also known as substitution. This is done when you substitute one variable into another equation.

-8x - 5y = -13

-4x - 5y = 11

Let's change the second equation into one with one variable on each side.

-5y = 4x + 11

y = -4/5x - 11/5

Now, plug this into your first equation.

-8x - 5(-4/5x - 11/5) = -13

Distribute the -5 sign.

-8x + 4x + 11 = -13

Combine the like terms.

-4x + 11 = -13

-4x = -24

Isolate x by dividing both sides by -4.

x = -24/-4

x = 6

Now plug this back into either equation.

y = -4/5(6) - 11/5

Multiply.

y = -24/5 - 11/5

Subtract.

y = -35/5

Simplify.

y = -7

Your solution is (6, -7).

Check this by plugging in these values into the equation you have not checked yet.

-8(6) - 5(-7) = -13

-48 + 35 = -13

-13 = -13

Your solution is correct.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

(6,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract them:

-8x - 5y = -13

-4x - 5y = 11

you get

-4x = -24

so x = 6

plug x into the second equation:

-24 - 5y = 11

-5y = 35

y = -7

so your solution is (6,-7).

What are the zeros of the polynomial function f(x) = x^3-10x^2+24x
Ludmilka [50]
Replace F(x) with y
y=x^3-10x^2+24x
To find the roots replace y with 0.
0=x^3-10x^2-24x
Rewrite the equation as
x^3-10x^2+24x=0
Factor the left side
x(x-6)(x-4)=0
The solution is a result of
x=0, x-6=0, and x-4=0

The answer is:
x=0, 6, 4

You recycled a total of 30 cans and bottles and made $1.80. For cans you get $0.05 and for bottles
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 30

0.05x + 0.15y = 1.80

x = 30 - y

1.5 - 0.05y + 0.15y = 1.80

0.10y = 0.30

y = 3 (bottles)

x = 27 (cans)

Let x = larger odd integer

  then (x-2) is the smaller odd integer

 

Translate:

   "sum of two consecutive odd integers is 80"    means   (x-2) + x = 80

 

 2x -2 - 80

  2x = 82

   x = 41
