Solve the following system of equations for x and y.

1 answer:

4 0

<h2>Answer:</h2>

We can solve this system by elimination to solve for y by multiplying the top equation by 4 and the bottom one by -5.

$4(5x + y = 2)\\-5(4x - 2y = 10)\\\\20x + 4y = 8\\-20x + 10y = -50\\\\14y = -42\\\\y = -3$

Now, with what we got for y, we plug it back into one of the original equations. I chose the top one.

$5x + 7 = 2\\\\5x = -5\\\\x = -1$

Now we have the solution of this system

The solution is <em>A. (-1, -3)</em>.

(2^8 *3^-5* 6^0)^-2 * ((3^-2)/(2^3))^4 * 2^28

anything to the 0 power is 1

(2^8 *3^-5* 1)^-2 * ((3^-2)/(2^3))^4 * 2^28

using the power of power property to take the power inside

(2^(8*-2) *3^(-5* -2) * (3^-2*4)/(2^3*4) * 2^28

simplify

2^ -16 * 3^10 * 3^-8 /2*12 * 2^28

get rid of the division by making the exponent negative

2^-16 * 3^10 * 3^-8 *2*-12 * 2^28

combine exponents with like bases

2^(-16-12+28) * 3^(10-8)

2^(0) *3^2

anything to the 0 power is 1
