Hello :
<span>
y=5x+8
y= -4x-1
5x+8 = -4x-1
9x =-9
x = -1
y = 5(-1)+8 = 3
</span><span>ordered pair is the solution to the system : ( -1 , 3)</span>
Call the number of trumpet players "T" and the number of horn players "H".
We can use the given information to set up equations:
1."<span>the number of trumpet players is 4 times the number of French horn players"

2. "</span><span>There are 35 trumpet and French horn players in the band."

If you were asked to solve you could now do it by substitution:






</span>
To figure this out, replace the variables with their given values.
p(a/b) = p(.4/.5)
Then you divide!
.4/.5 = .8
Hope this helps!
The answer is negative. You subtract 730 from 850
