-5x-9 = -3x -9

Add 3x to both sides:

-2x -9 = -9

Add 9 to both sides:

-2x = 0

Divide both sides by -2:

x = 0

Solve the system using substitution.
salantis [7]
The answer is:  [B]:  (13, -5)  .
______________________________________________________
Explanation:  Using Substitution:
______________________________________________________
   y = 8 − x ;

   7 = 2 − y ;
___________________________________
Solve for "x" and "y" using using substitution;
_________________________________________

Take the second equation given:
____________________________________________
    7 = 2 − y ; 

And considering the first equation given: " y = 8 − x " ;
_________________________________________________
Substitute the value: "8 − x"  for (the value of "y" in the first equation given), in order to solve for "x" ;
_________________________________________________
   7 = 2 − y ; 
________________________________________

   7 = 2 −  8  − x ;
__________________________________________    
   7 = -6 − x ;   
__________________________________________
Add  "6" to EACH side of the equation:
__________________________________________
   7 + 6 =  -6 − x + 6 ;
__________________________________________
   to get:  13 =  -x  ;
__________________________________________
      13 =  -x  ;  ↔   -x  = 13 ; ↔  -1 x  = 13 ;
___________________________________________
   Divide EACH side of the equation by "-1 " ;  to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
___________________________________________
        -1 x / -1  = 13 / -1 ;
___________________________________________
          x  =  13 .  At this point, the only answer choice that can be correct is answer choice: "[B]: (13, -5)" ; since it is the only answer choice given with a solution of x = 13; 
___________________________________________
Nonetheless, we shall continue.
___________________________________________
Now that we have the solution for "x";  "x = 13";  We shall plug this value into, or "SUBSTITUTE" this value, "13", for "x", into the first equation given, " y = 8 − x " ;  to find the value of  "y"  ; as follows:
__________________________________________
     y = 8 − x ;
____________________________________________
     y = 8 − 13 ;
____________________________________________
     y = -5 .
_____________________________________________
So, we have x = 13; and y = -5; or write as: (13, -5) .   This solution corresponds directly which answer choice: [B]:
__________________________________________________
Also, to confirm, let us plug in our solved value for "y", which is "-5" ; into our second equation, to see if the equation holds true:
_____________________________________________
  7 = 2 − y ;
_____________________________________________
  7 =?  2 −  (-5)  ?? ; 
 _____________________________________________
 7 =?   2 +  5 ? ? Yes !

If you choose two blocks at the same time, what is the probability that both blocks will
Murljashka [212]

Step-by-step explanation:

Numer of events divided by total number of events.

number of events = two ( since T is only 2)

total number of events = 12 ( count all of them)

so the probability is = 2/12 which is = 1/6.

Hope this helps.

Good luck ✅.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

69 pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the given data:

Pennies at the starting of February = 34

Pennies in 1st week of February = 13

Pennies in 2nd week of February = 9

Pennies in 3rd week of February = 6

Pennies in 4th week of February = 7

To find the number of pennies at the end of February just add all the pennies.

At the end of February, the number of pennies = 34 + 13 + 9 + 7 +6 = 69 pennies
