Substitute y = -x into the first equation:

-8x - 7(-x) = -5

-8x + 7x = -5

-x = -5

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 into y = -x

y = -(5)

y = -5

Answer: x = 5, y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x -7y + 5 = 0

y = -x

substituting this value, we get:

-8x -7(-x) +5= 0

-8x +7x + 5 =0

-x +5=0

5 = x

substituting this value in the equation, we get:

-8(5) -7y + 5 = 0

-40 -7y +5=0

-35 -7y =0

7y = -35

y = -35/7

y = -5

Follow me please ...thank u :)

What’s the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x - 10
erastovalidia [21]
The answer is:  " f ⁻¹(x)  = \frac{x}{2}  + 5 " . 
____________________________________________________

Explanation:

____________________________________________________

Given the function:  " f(x) = 2x <span>− 10 " ;  Find the "inverse function" .

Let "f(x)" be represented by "y" ; and rewrite:

    y = 2x </span><span>− 10 ; 

Change the "y" to an "x" ;  and change to "x" to a "y" ; as follows:
___________________________________________________
    x = 2y </span><span>− 10 ; 

Now, rewrite this equation, in "slope-intercept form";  that is;  "y = mx + b" ; 

To do this, start by solving THIS equation for "y"; in terms of "x" ; with "y" as an "isolated variable" on the "left-hand side" of the equation; 
___________________________________________________
 We have: 
___________________________________________________
   " x = 2y </span><span>− 10 " ; 

Add "10" to each side of the equation; as follows:

    x + 10 = 2y </span><span>− 10 + 10 ; 

to get:

     x + 10 = 2y ; 

</span>↔  2y = x + 10 ;
<span>
Now, divide each side of the equation by "2" ; 
       to isolate "y" on one side of the equation (as a single variable); 
       & to solve for "y" ; 

</span>→  2y / 2 = (x + 10) / 2 ; 
<span>
to get: 

</span>→    y = (x/2)  + (10/2) ; 

→    y = (x/2) + 5 ; 
<span>
Now, rewrite the equation, by substituting:  " f </span>⁻¹(x) " ;  in place of the "y" ;                     to indicate that this function is an "inverse function; as follows:
 
→   " f ⁻¹(x)  = \frac{x}{2}  + 5 " . 
______________________________________________________

The answer is:  " f ⁻¹(x)  = \frac{x}{2}  + 5 " .

Solve: 2x-3= 5(x+ 6)<br> OA. x= -9<br> OB. x=-11<br> OC. x=-3<br> OD. x- 33
alexgriva [62]

Answer: the correct answer is b x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 3x + 3x = 5x + 30 + 3

2x = 5x + 33

( 2x - 5x = 5x +  33 - 5x

(1/3)-3x = 33x (1/3)  Here we divide it but since it is 1/3, it is the same as dividing 3 divided by 11

1x = 11

x=11
