Answer:

(-2,-10)

Step-by-step explanation:

So if y=5x and if y=9x+8 then those should be able to equal each other (substitution):

5x=9x+8

Subtract 5x from both sides:

0=4x+8

Subtract 8 from both sides:

-8=4x

Divide both sides by 4:

x=-2

If x=-2, then we can just plug it back into the first equation:

y=5(-2)

Simplify:

y=-10

Answer:

x = -2

y = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

So if y = 5x

Then you can put that in place of the y

5x = 9x + 8

Get the x's all on one side by subtracting

-4x = 8

Divide both sides by -4

x = -2

Then insert x into the first equation, so

y = 5(-2)

y = -10

Two 2 1/2 inch plastic strips and two 5 1/3 inch plastic strips are used to form a rectangle. What is the perimeter of the recta

svp [43]

In this question the given information's should be closely noted. The length and width of the perimeter are already given. Based on those information's the answer to the question can be easily deduced.
Length of the rectangle = 2 1/2 inch
   = 5/2 inch
Width of the rectangle = 5 1/3 inch
   = 16/3 inch
Then
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 ( Length + Width)
      = 2 [(5/2) + (16/3)]
   = 2 [ (45 + 32)/6]
   = 2 * (77/6)
   = 77/3 inch
   = 25 2/3 inch
So the perimeter of the rectangle in question is 25 2/3 inch. I hope the procedure is clear to you.
