Answer:
x=0.5 and y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
8x+7y=39...eqn(1)×-14
4x-14y=-68...eqn(2)×7
we now have,
-112x-98y=-546
-(28x-98y=-476)
-140x÷-140 =-70÷-140
x=0.5
to solve for y, we substitute (x=0.5) into eqn (1) or eqn 2 which ever you want...
so I'm using eqn 1.
8x+7y=39
8(0.5)+7y=39
7y=39-4
7y÷7=35÷7
y=5
therefore, x=0.5, y=5
proof: substitute both x and y values to get you the same answer as the original solutions in both equations.
we have,
8(0.5)+7(5)=39
4(0.5)-14(5)=-68
Answer:
x = ± 7
|-7|-2=5
|7|-2=5
± means positive or negative
Step-by-step explanation:
|x|-2=5
Get x by itself by adding 2 to both sides.
x - 2 + 2= 5 + 2
-2 + 2 cancels out
x = 5 + 2
x = 7
Absolute value is how far a number is from 0.
x can be either positive or negative.
13.80 x 2= 27.60
1 pizza equals 13.80 so two pizzas will be twice that money amount. Both pizzas will cost $27.60.
I hope this helped
Answer and Step-by-step explanation: An equation represents proportional relationship when dividing the quantities of the equation results in a quotient that is always the same. For example, in general:
Equation: y = mx
= m
m is a constant value, which means is the same.
A. Equation: 120 - x = L
Equation from alternative A is NOT proportional since the division of the quantities doesn't result in a constant.
B. Equation: 1.08p = t
Dividing total cost per item's price, will always give the sales tax, which is constant. So, this equation IS proportional.

C. Equation: 
This equation is proportional because dividing marbles per how much each sister gets, always gives the number of sisters:

D. Equation: 
This equation is NOT proportional because side length is squared, so it is not constant linearly.
