Answer:

x = -4,  y = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

simplify the 1st equation by dividing each term by 4 to get:

x + 2y = -1

-5x + 2y = 23

Subtract to get: 6x = -24

x = -4

find 'y':    2y - 5(-4) = 23

               2y + 20 = 23

               2y = 3

                y = 3/2

Answer:

y is equal to 1.5, and x is equal to -4

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

4x + 8y = -4

2y - 5x = 23

We can start by factoring 4 out of the first equation:

x + 2y = -1

Now let's multiply it by -5:

-5x - 10y = 5

We'll rearrange the other equation to match that (just for clarity):

-5x + 2y = 23

Now let's subtract the modified equation from that:

\begin{array}{c}-5x + 2y = 23\\-5x - 10y = 5\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 12y = 18\end{array}

So y is equal to 18/12, or 1.5

Let's plug that into one of the first equations and see what we get:

2y - 5x = 23\\2(1.5) - 5x = 23\\3 - 5x = 23\\-5x = 20\\x = -4

Giving us an x value of negative four.  Let's plug that into the other equation to confirm:

4x + 8y = -4\\4(-4) + 8y = -4\\-16 + 8y = -4\\-4 + 2y = -1\\2y = 3\\y = 1.5

That matches up, so our answer is correct.

A lecture hall contains $20$ chairs, all lined in a row. What is the number of ways that five chairs can be chosen, so that no t
patriot [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we choose chairs having odd number in the row

no of chairs from which selection is made = 10

no of chairs to be selected = 5

no of ways = 10C₅

similarly if we choose hairs having even numbers only ,

similar to above , no of ways

= 10C₅

Total no of ways

= 2 x 10C₅

= 2 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 / 5 x 4x3 x 2 x 1

= 504 .
