Answer:

x=-3 and y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x and y

x+y=-5

x-y=-1

therefore x=-5-y

-5-y-y=-1

-2y=-1+5

-2y=4

y=-2

×=-5-(-2)

x=-5+2

x=-3

Answer: -2 and -3

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Number #1 = x
  • Number #2 = y

x + y = -5

x - y = -1 -> x = y - 1

(y - 1) + y = -5

y - 1 + y = -5

2y = 1 - 5

2y = -4

y = -2

x = y - 1 = -2 - 1 = -3

Find the area of a regular octagon with an apothem of 7 inches and a side length of 5.8 inches. (nearest tenth)
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

162.4 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

LETS GET INTOOOOEEETTT

Let's start with what we know:

Area of regular octagon = 1/2 x perimeter x apothem

We know the apothem, so all that we need to find to fill in the above equation is the perimeter:

perimeter = 8 x 5.8 = 46.4in

Now we can fill in our original equation and solve:

Area of regular octagon = 1/2 x perimeter x apothem

Formula = n (s/2)² divided by tan( π /n)

   = 8 (5.8/2)²  divided by tan ( π /8)

                 = 162.4283 in²

ORRR when rounded to the nearest tenth,

                      =162.4 in²

Evaluate -6(x-2y) when x= -3 and y= -5<br> a. -42<br> b. 80<br> c. -80<br> d. -16
Vinil7 [7]
Simply substitute x for -3 and y for -5, creating the equation shown below:
     
     -6 (-3 - 2(-5) )
Now that you have your values set up, now you can do the math by starting off with Multiplying -2 by -5, which will get you 10. 

Now that you have the parenthesis simplified in the parenthesis, you can use the distributive property by multiplying all the numbers with -6, like so:
-6(-3+10)= 18 - 60, which simplifies to -42, in which (A) is your answer.

5(3a-1)-2(3a-2)=3(a+2)+v
STatiana [176]

Answer:

<u>The answer is option C. 6a-7</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

5(3a-1)-2(3a-2)=3(a+2)+v

Solve for v

∴ v = 5(3a-1)-2(3a-2) - 3(a+2)

∴ v = 15a - 5 - 6a + 4 - 3a - 6

∴ v = 15a - 6a - 3a - 5 + 4 - 6

∴ v = 6a - 7

<u>So the answer is option C. 6a-7</u>
