-x - y = 8
2x - y = -1
Ok, we are going to solve this in 2 parts. First we have to solve for one of the variables in one of the equation in terms of the other variable. I like to take the easiest equation first and try to avoid fractions, so let's use the first equation and solve for x.
-x - y = 8 add y to each side
-x = 8 + y divide by -1
x = -8 - y
So now we have a value for x in terms of y that we can use to substitute into the other equation. In the other equation we are going to put -8 - y in place of the x.
2x - y = -1
2(-8 - y) - y = -1 multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-16 - 2y - y = -1 combine like terms
-16 - 3y = -1 add 16 to both sides
-3y = 15 divide each side by -3
y = -5
Now we have a value for y. We need to plug it into either of the original equations then solve for x. I usually choose the most simple equation.
-x - y = 8
-x - (-5) = 8 multiply -1 through the parentheses
-x + 5 = 8 subtract 5 from each side
-x = 3 divide each side by -1
x = -3
So our solution set is
(-3, -5)
That is the point on the grid where the 2 equations are equal, so that is the place where they intersect.
First let’s convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions 2 1/4 =9/4
Then u get 4(X-9/4) =-3.7
Now your gonna divide both sides by four
4(X-9/4) over 4 = -3.7 over 4
4/4 =1 …X=-9/4
-3.7/4 = -0.925
Now you’re going to add 9/4 to each side
X-9/4+9/4=-0.925 +9/4
-9/4 + 9/4 =0 (X)
Now you have just -0.925 and nine fourths
I converted 9/4 —> 2.25
Then u still have -0.925
So add 2.25+-0.925 u get ur X which is 1.325 (this is ur answer)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Impossible, a six sided die can't have 8 if it's six sided
2) Unlikely, there isn't an equal amount of boys and girls, so it wouldn't be neither likely or unlikely or likely, or impossible
3) Likely, there are more birds than other animals
4) Neither likely nor unlikely, because there is an equal amount of short straws and long straws
