Answer:
x=-5
y=2

Explanation:
Since both of these equations are equal to y, they have to be equal to each other. Set them equal to each other like this: -x-3= -2x-8. Multiply everything by negative 1 to get rid of the negative signs. The equation will look like this: x+3= 2x+8. Than subtract the x from both sides. Than subtract 8 from both sides. That should get you to x=-5. Than plug in -5 into the x value for one of the linear equations. It will get you 2 for the y.

A) find a cartesian equation for the curve described by the given polar equation. r =3 sin g

Radda [10]

Recall that r^2 = x^2 + y^2, so that r = sqrt(x^2+y^2).

y
r = 3 sin g becomes sqrt(x^2+y^2) = 3*-----------------------
sqrt(x^2+y^2)

Squaring both sides,

9y^2
x^2+y^2 = -----------------
x^2 + y^2

If this is correct (and I'm not convinced that it is), then (x^2+y^2)^2 = 9y^2
shows the relationship between x and y. Can anyone improve on this result?

A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes has a t

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The weight of large and small box are 18.25 kg and 13.25 kg respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of large and small box are x and y respectively.

It is given that a delivery of 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes has a total weight of 131 kilograms.

$5x+3y=131$ .... (1)
