Answer:

(3,-4) or x=3 and y= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to solve this by substitution

We first need to get a variable by itself in one of the two equations (it doesn't matter which variable and the equation you do the work on doesn't matter either)

I'm going to solve for y in the second equation

-4x-4y=4

add 4y and subtract 4 from both sides to get

-4x-4=4y

Divide by 4 to get

-x-1=y

We can plug this value in for y into the first equation and get

4x+5(-x-1)= -8

Solve for x

4x-5x-5= -8

-x-5= -8

-x= -3

x=3

We can plug this value into one of the first two equations and solve for y

4(3)+5y= -8

12+5y= -8

5y= -20

y= -4

Therefore the solution is (3,-4) or x=3 and y= -4

Henry has 20 Lawns mowed out of a total of 50 lawns. What percentage of the lawns does Henry have to still mow?

elena55 [62]

Henry has completed 40% of his work, leaving him with a remaining 60%.

What you do is divide 20 by 50 and your answer is .4, move the decimal two places to the right to get your percent, 40. Then subtract it out of 100 and you get the remaining 60%, which essentially is your answer.

2.Solve the following quadratic equations<br> i. 9x^2 - 1/16<br> ii. 2h^2 - 3h - 27

Juli2301 [7.4K]

$i)~9x^2-\dfrac{1}{16}=0\iff9x^2=\dfrac{1}{16}\iff x^2=\dfrac{1}{9\cdot16}\iff \\\\x^2=\dfrac{1}{144}\iff x=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{144}}=\pm\dfrac{1}{12}\Longrightarrow\boxed{x=\pm\dfrac{1}{12}}$

$ii)~2h^2-3h-27=0\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\to \Delta=(-3)^2-4\cdot2\cdot(-27)\to\Delta=9+216=225\\\\
\Longrightarrow h=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\dfrac{-(-3)\pm\sqrt{225}}{2\cdot2}=\dfrac{3\pm15}{4}\\\\\begin{cases}h_1=\dfrac{3+15}{4}=\dfrac{18}{4}\iff \boxed{h_1=\dfrac{9}{2}}\\h_2=\dfrac{3-15}{4}=\dfrac{-12}{4}\iff\boxed{h_2=-3}\end{cases}$
