5x+3y=-9
-2x+y=8
The first step is the trickery (and quite frankly, hardest to explain) part. You need to multiply one equation by a number that will create one variable to be the negative version of the other...(Confusing, right? Don't worry, I'll show you)
We are going to solve for X first.
We will multiply the second equation by -3
5x+3y=-9
-3(-2x+y)=(-3)8
Now simplify:
5x+3y= -9
6x-3y= -24
Now combine the two equations (add them together)
11x= -33
Divide by 11
X=-3
Now plug X in to one of the first equations:
5(-3)+3y= -9
-15+3y =-9
3Y= 6
Y= 2
So your final answer is:
x= -3
Y= 2
Hope this helps!

I believe the answer is 4/15.
Answer:
Relative frequency of selecting a 2 = 8/50 = 0.16
Relative frequency of selecting a 3 = 14/50 = 0.28
Step-by-step explanation:
When we have a given experiment with given outcomes (such that each time that we perform the experiment, one outcome happens) the relative frequency of a given outcome is the quotient between the number of times that that outcome happened, and the total number of times that the experiment was performed.
Here the experiment is selecting a random number between 1 and 5, and it is performed 50 times.
Out of these 50 times, the outcome "2" appears 8 times.
Then the relative frequency of selecting the number 2 is:
f(2) = 8/50 = 0.16
And of these 50 experiments, the outcome "3" appears 14 times.
Then the relative frequency of selecting the number 3 is:
f(3) = 14/50 = 0.28
Answer:
the bottom equation should be 18+30=3(6+10)
Step-by-step explanation:
6(3+10) = 18+60 which equals 78
78 does not equal 18
