Answer:

(2, - 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

10x + 7y = - 8 → (1)

7x + 7y = - 14 → (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate y

(10x - 7x) + (7y - 7y) = - 8 - (- 14) , that is

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

10(2) + 7y = - 8

20 + 7y = - 8 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

7y = - 28 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = - 4

solution to the system of equations is (2, - 4 )

Solve 2 log x = log 64. (1 point)

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2log(x)=log(64)

By logarithms properties

$xlog_{a}(b)=log_{a}(b^{x} ) \\$

log(x²)=log(64)

When you have log or ln in both sites, you delete them and...

x²=64

$\sqrt[]{x^{2} } =\sqrt{64} \\x=8$

Which table represents a linear function?

Delvig [45]

Answer:

I would go with the first one.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first one is the only one that increases by the same number. In other words, its slope is constant. A linear function has a constant slope. You can tell that it increases by 1/2 every time.

Amanda spent a total of 70 minutes competing her chores this week. Write and solve an equation to represent the number of minute

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

28 minutes spent in washing the dishes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table

Chore time in minutes

Sweeping 42

Dishes ?

Amanda spent a total of 70 minutes competing her chores this week

Total of 70 minutes spent

42 minutes spent in sweeping . to find the number of minutes Amanda spent in washing the dishes , subtract 42 minutes from the total time spent

let x be the number of minutes spent washing the dishes

$42+x=70$

To solve for x , subtract 42 from both sides

$42+x=70\\x= 70-42\\x=28$

28 minutes spent in washing the dishes.
