Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-40x + 8y = -24

3x - 8y = 24

-37x = 0

x = 0

0 + y = -3

y = -3

(0, -3)

Answer:

I will show you how to solve for x and y.

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + y = -3

3x - 8y = 24

You can isolate y in the first equation, and substitute that into the second equation.

so to isolate y in -5x + y = -3, you would add 5x to both sides

this gives you y = 5x - 3

Then substitute this y into the equation below.

3x - 8(5x-3) = 24  (this way, the y variable disappears)

then distribute the 8 into the bracket

3x - 40x + 24 = 24

combine the variables

-37x + 24 = 24

isolate x by moving the constants to one side

-37x = 0

so x = 0

I am not sure if you want the rest, but here it is.

substitute x = 0 into one of the equations.

-5x + y = -3

-5(0) + y = -3

y = -3

Which equation represents a line which is perpendicular to the line 2x + y = -5?

Gnesinka [82]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression;

2x + y = -5;

The given equation must be written in a form where the slope is the negative inverse of the given one.

A line perpendicular to another will have a negative inverse slope.

2x + y = -5

Equation of a straight line is generally written as;

y = mx + c

y and x are the coordinates

m is the slope

c is y - intercept

2x + y = -5

y = -2x -5

The slope of the perpendicular = $\frac{1}{2}$

So,

the new line;

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x -5

Any line with slope of $\frac{1}{2}$ will be perpendicular

Why do you flip the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number?

ohaa [14]

Assume x is 100.

-x<1
-100 is smaller than 1.

Dividing by -1,
x>-1
100 is greater than -1
If the inequality is not changed,
100<-1
100 is less than -1 which is not true

Answer:

a) 37th percentile: 33 years

b) 72nd percentile: 62 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The kth percentile divides the data into two: on the one hand the lowest k% of the data, and on the other the (1-k)% higher of the data.

For the list provided, the 37th percentile falls to the age of 33. This means that 37% of the data are for ages under 33 years.

The 72nd percentile falls at the age of 62 (72% of the ages fall below 62 years).
