Answer:

X= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello. For to solve that, you need to use the sustitution method:

1. You need clear X in the first equation and put in the second

X+Y = -10

X = -10-Y

2. Y = X-2, then you replaced the X in this equation:

Y = (-10-Y) - 2

Y+2=-10-Y

2Y=-10-2

2Y= -12

Y= -12/2

Y=-6

3. Now you use the Y value for to solve X:

X=-10-Y, then

X =- 10-(-6)

X = -4

Plug in x-2 for y
x + x - 2 = -10
2x = 12, x = 6
The value of x is 6

The third answer is right. Scientific notation is always expressed with one digit before the decimal and is multiplied by the power of ten to compensate for the offset.

Also when writing without access to superscript use either of these methods to express the exponent.
6.000370 x 10^6
6.000370 E6

A shop has determined that the number of bottles of water they sell on a summer day is a function of the day’s high temperature,

lakkis [162]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{T=t+94}}$

Explanation:

To find the expression of the high temperature of the day (T) as a function of the day (t), analyze the trend shown on the table.

The data in the column of the day (t) increases by 1, and the the data in the column of the high temperature increases by 1.

Thus, the slope is 1ºF per day.

The point-slope form of the equation of a line is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Where m is the slope and y₁, x₁ are the coordinates of any point on the line.

Using the point (2, 96) you get:

$y-96=1(x-2)\\\\y-96=x-2\\\\y=x-2+96\\\\y=x+94$

Using the names T and t for y and x, respectively:

$T=t+94$

Sophia wrote an equation to represent the revenue of a movie theater for one day. She let x represent the number of child ticket

Angelina_Jolie [31]

The total revenue that is obtained from selling the tickets is the sum of the revenue from selling the child tickets and the adult tickets. If x and y are the number of child and adult ticket, the equation that would represent the given is,
4x + 6y = 420
The equation that would allow us to solve for the number of adult tickets is,
6y = 420 - 4x
Simplifying,
y = 70 - 2x/3
