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.

mart [117]

Answer:

X =8

Step-by-step explanation:

DF = DE + EF

15 = X+1 + X-2

16 = 2X

X = 8

Whoever does it I will Give a special thanks to them. Just answer 4.
Stolb23 [73]
For this question you have to solve the equation backwards.
A = 1/2 x (b1 + b2) x h
In order to get rid of the 1/2 (since it's division) multiply each side by 2
now we have: 2A = (b1 + b2) x h
Now do the same to the get rid of the (b1 + b2) (divide each side by it)
2A/(b1 + b2) = h

\frac{5}{7}  \:  -  \:  \frac{3}{2}

  • First, we find the <u>lowest common denominator</u> which is "14", we put it in the common numerator.

\frac{10 \:  -  \: 21}{14}

  • We subtract the numbers.

\boxed{ \bold{- \frac{11}{14} }}

Genuinely confused rn
frosja888 [35]

Using it's concept, it is found that the probability that he winds up wearing the white shirt and tan pants is of \frac{1}{8}.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In this problem:

  • For the shirt, there is 4 outcomes, hence the probability of the white shirt is 1/4.
  • For the pair of pants, there are 2 outcomes, blue or tan, hence the probability of tan pants is 1/2.

Since the shirt and the pants are independent, the probability is given by:

p = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}.
