Answer:

-4,-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the system of equations, I can't see any way to add the equations together to eliminate a variable. So, I decided to use substitution. First, I created 2 new equations, x = -24 - 4y and Y=2X+3 by rewriting each equation to solve for x and y. Now, I can take one of these equations and insert it in the opposite equation and solve for a variable.

4(-24 - 4y) - 2y = -6

-96 -16y -2y = -6

-18y = 90

y = -5

Now, I can just insert this in one of my equations and solve for x, and get my solution, which gets me x = -4

Answer:

The slope is 3/2 and the y intercept is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write in the form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

-3x+2y = 8

Add 3x to each side

-3x+3x+2y = 3x+8

2y = 3x+8

Divide each side by 2

2y/2 = 3x/2 + 8/2

y = 3/2x +4

The slope is 3/2 and the y intercept is 4

Sin (x/2)= √2- sin (x/2) solve for the exact solutions in the interval (0, 2π)

serg [7]

$sin\left( \frac{x}{2} \right)=\sqrt{2}-sin\left( \frac{x}{2} \right)\implies sin\left( \frac{x}{2} \right)+sin\left( \frac{x}{2} \right)=\sqrt{2}\implies 2sin\left( \frac{x}{2} \right)=\sqrt{2} \\\\\\ sin\left( \cfrac{x}{2} \right)=\cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\implies sin^{-1}\left[ sin\left( \cfrac{x}{2} \right) \right]=sin^{-1}\left( \cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) \implies \cfrac{x}{2}= \begin{cases} \frac{\pi }{4}\\\\ \frac{3\pi }{4} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\cfrac{x}{2}=\cfrac{\pi }{4}\implies \boxed{x=\cfrac{\pi }{2}}~\hfill \cfrac{x}{2}=\cfrac{3\pi }{4}\implies \boxed{x=\cfrac{3\pi }{2}}$

Stan's lawn mower had ⅛ of a gallon of gasoline in the tank. Stand started mowing and used all of the gasoline. He put 6/10 of a

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:Stan used 19/40 of a gallon of gasoline.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first, Stan's lawn mower had 1/8 of a gallon of gasoline in the tank. When it got finished, he put 6/10 of a gallon of gasoline in the tank. It means that the number of gallons of gasoline that he has already put in the tank is

1/8 + 6/10 = 29/40 of a gallon.

After he mowed, 1/4 of a gallon was left in the tank. Therefore, the total amount of gasoline Stan used is

29/40 - 1/4 = 19/40 of a gallon
