Solve the system by substitution. x = - 4y - 5 2x + 10y = 8

Answer:

x = -41

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by multiplying the top equation by 2

2x = -8y - 10

The second equation requires a little more care.

Start by moving 10y to the right. Normally the y value is on the left, but we are going to be substituting for 2x.

2x = - 10y + 8

What I've done is not the usual practice, but there is nothing wrong with it.

Now since both right sides are equal to 2x, you can substitute for them

-8y - 10 = -10y + 8                Add 10y to both sides

-8y + 10y - 10 = 8

2y - 10 = 8                           Add 10 to both sides

2y = 8+10

2y = 18                                 Divide by 2

y = 18/2

y = 9

Use the second original equation to solve for x

2x + 10y = 8

2x + 10*9 = 8                    

2x + 90 = 8                         Subtract 20 from both sides

2x = 8 - 90

2x =  - 82                              Divide by 2

x = -822/2

x = - 41

(1 point) Consider the universal set U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}, define the set A be the even numbers, the set B be the odd number
Sloan [31]

Answer:

a) AUC = {2,4,6,8,10}

b) BnC = {}

c) AnB = {}

d) B-C = B = {1,3,5,7,9}

Step-by-step explanation:

The set A is the even numbers, those that are divisible by two.

So A = {2,4,6,8,10}

B is the odd numbe.rs. An odd number is a number that is not divisible by two.

So B = {1,3,5,7,9}.

C = {4,5,6}, as the problem states

a) The union of sets is a set containing all elements that are in at least one of the sets. So the union of A and C is a set that contains all elements that are in at least one of A or C.

So AUC = {2,4,6,8,10}.

b) The intersection of two sets consists of all elements that in both sets. So, the intersection of B and C is the set that contains all elements that are in both B and C.

There are no elements that are in both B and C, so the intersection is an empty set

BnC = {}

c) Same explanation as b), there are no elements that are in both A and B, so another empty set.

AnB = {}

d) The difference of sets B and C consists of all elements that are in B and not in C. We already have in b) that BnC = {}, so:

B-C = B = {1,3,5,7,9}

What is the 87th term of the arithmetic sequence with this explicit formula
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a sequence and if we are to find its 87th term we must have the general term formula for the sequence.

Normally for sequences which follow a pattern there will be a formula for nth term.

Example is arithmetic sequence nth term = a+(n-1)d where a is the I term and d the common difference.

Similarly for geometric sequence nth term

= is the nth term

Thus to find the 87th term, we must be able to find out the pattern of the sequence by which any term is related to its previous term

Either general term formula or recurring formula should be given to get the 87th term

Step-by-step explanation: is arithmetic sequence nth term = a+(n-1)d where a is the I term and d the common difference. Still stuck? Get 1-on-1 help from an expert tutor now.

How do you plot a fraction on a graph that only allows whole numbers?
klio [65]

Answer:

Depends, rise over run could be considered a fraction, or if it's a number that has a whole number like one and 3/4 then you just plot the point to the best of your ability. In other words guess.

DENIUS [597]
Answer is 3.25h = m
That’s because Sarah’s earning 3.25 per hour so if you want to figure out how much money she’s making you can just substitute your value for h. Pls mark brainliest if possible, have a nice day
