You have 10 pairs of socks, five black and five blue, but they are not paired up. Instead, they are all mixed up in a drawer. It

’s early in the morning, and you don’t want to turn on the lights in your darkroom. How many socks must you pull out to guarantee that you have a pair of one colour? How many must you pull out to have two good pairs (each pair is the same colour)? How many must you pull out to be certain that you have a pair of black socks?

Solve the system by substitution<br> 5x+y=-14<br> 5x- 3y=2
dlinn [17]

Answer:

x = -2, y = -4, or (-2, -4).

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + y = -14

5x - 3y = 2

If we look at the first equation, we can see that y can be easily isolated.

5x + y = -14

Subtract 5x from both sides.

y = -5x - 14

Now we have a variable that we can plug into the second equation.

5x - 3y = 2

5x - 3(-5x - 14) = 2

Distribute the -3 across each term in the parentheses.

5x + 15x + 42 = 2

Combine like terms.

20x + 42 = 2

Subtract 42 from both sides.

20x = -40

Divide both sides by 20 to isolate x.

x = -2

Plug in x = -2 back into one of the equations to find y.

y = -5x - 14

y = -5(-2) - 14

Multiply.

y = 10 - 14

Subtract.

y = -4

Our solution is x = -2, y = -4, or (-2, -4).

Check your answer by plugging both values into one of the equations.

5x - 3y = 2

5(-2) - 3(-4) = 2

-10 + 12 = 2

2 = 2

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!

What is the value of x?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.

Since they're linear pairs, it would be x+134=180. so x = 46 degrees.
