Step-by-step explanation:

We will solve this system of equations using two methods: elimination and substitution.

Method 1: Elimination

2x - y = -8. #1

-5x + y = 26. #2

Note that by adding these two equations, the y-variable is eliminated (thus the name) and you're only left with an equation with one variable. So upon adding, we get

-3x = 18 or x = -6

Using this value for x, put this back in either one of the equations. Let's use the 2nd one.

-5(-6) + y = 26

--> 30 + y = 26

Moving 30 to the right side, we get y = -4.

Method 2: Substitution

This is done by isolating one variable to the left side in one equation and then using it on the other equation. Let's take equation #2 and put the y-variable on the left side and you should get

y = 5x + 26

Now use this equation and plug it into the y in equation #1:

2x - (5x + 26) = -8

--> 2x - 5x - 26 = -8

--> -3x = 26 - 8 = 18 or <u>x</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>6</u><u>.</u>

Use this value for x into either one of the equations. Let's use equation #1 this time.

2(-6) - y = -8

--> -12 + 8 = y or <u>y</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-4</u><u>.</u>

Notice that using either method will give you the same result, as one might expect.

The answer to this question is FALSE.

Domain is the set of all the numbers that we can input to the function or that can be used in place of x. The numbers which make the function undefined are excluded from the domain.

In the given exponential function, there is no any value of x which will make the function undefined, so the domain of the function if set of All real numbers. In general, domain of exponential functions is Set of All real numbers.
