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).

Solve for x and y:<br> x+y=5 x−y=a <br> PLEASE I NEED MY ANSWER TILL TOMORROW MORNING!
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

x=\frac{a+5}{2}  y=5-\frac{a+5}{2}  

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=5

y=5-x

x-y=a

x-(5-x)=a

2x-5=a

2x=a+5

x=\frac{a+5}{2}  

x+y=5

\frac{a+5}{2}  +y=5

y=5-\frac{a+5}{2}

PLZ HELP this doesnt make sense
Otrada [13]

Answer:

No.

If two rectangles are congruent, it means they are the exact same shape and size.

I have uploaded an image with this answer. In the image, you can see two rectangles with the same perimeter. However, they are not congruent because they are not of the same size (even though they are of the same shape - a rectangle).

Hence, two rectangles may not be congruent if they have the same perimeter.

Is this a polynomial -x + 11
svetlana [45]
<span>In mathematics, a polynomial is an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables. ~ wikipedia

if it had negative exponents, division, square roots, etc, it would not be a polynomial,

the equation shown however is a polynomial.</span>
