Steps
8x−7y=−5
Add 7y to both sides
8x−7y+7y=−5+7y
Simplify
8x=−5+7y
Divide both sides by 8

Answer:

Therefore, the values of "x" and "y" are -1000/312 and -115/39 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>★ Solution :-</h3>

\sf \leadsto 8x - 7y = -5 - - - (i)

\sf \leadsto -x + 4y = -15 - - - (ii)

<u>By first equation,</u>

\sf \leadsto 8x - 7y = -5

\sf \leadsto 8x = -5 + 7y

\sf \leadsto x = \dfrac{-5 + 7y}{8}

<em><u>Now, we can find the original value of y.</u></em>

\sf \leadsto -x + 4y = -15

\sf \leadsto \bigg( \dfrac{-5 + 7y}{8} \bigg) + 4y = -15

\sf \leadsto \dfrac{-5 + 7y}{8} + 4y = -15

\sf \leadsto \dfrac{-5 + 7y + 32y}{8} = -15

\sf \leadsto \dfrac{-5 + 39y}{8} = -15

\sf \leadsto -5 + 39y = -15(8)

\sf \leadsto -5 + 39y = -120

\sf \leadsto 39y = -120 + 5

\sf \leadsto 39y =  - 115

\sf \leadsto y = \dfrac{ - 115}{39}

<em><u>Now, we can find the original value of x.</u></em>

\sf \leadsto 8x - 7y = -5

\sf \leadsto 8x -7 \bigg( \dfrac{ - 115}{39} \bigg) = -5

\sf \leadsto 8x + \dfrac{805}{39} = -5

\sf \leadsto \dfrac{312x + 805}{39} = -5

\sf \leadsto 312x + 805 = -5(39)

\sf \leadsto 312x + 805 = -195

\sf \leadsto 312x = -195 - 805

\sf \leadsto 312x = -1000

\sf \leadsto x = \dfrac{-1000}{312}

\textsf {\underline{Answer-}}\\

Therefore, the values of x and y are -1000/312 and -115/39 respectively.

Y is inversely proportional to x, when Y = 2, x = 4.<br><br>Find the value of x when Y = 4.
ratelena [41]

The value of x when y =4 is 2

<h3>How to solve for x?</h3>

An inverse proportion is represented as:

k = yx

Where

k represents the constant of proportion

When y = 2, x = 4.

So, we have:

k =2 * 4

k = 8

Substitute k = 8 in k = yx

So, we have:

yx = 8

When y = 4, we have:

4x = 8

Divide by 4

x = 2

Hence, the value of x when y =4 is 2

Prove that this is a right triangle, show work please!!!!<br><br> sides<br> 2√5 <br> 2√5<br> 2√10
dlinn [17]

The triangle has sides a,b,c such that

a = 2*sqrt(5), b = sqrt(5), and c = 2*sqrt(10)

Square each value

a = 2*sqrt(5)

a^2 = (2*sqrt(5))^2

a^2 = 2^2(sqrt(5))^2

a^2 = 4*5

a^2 = 20

b^2 = 20 for similar reasons as side 'a'

c = 2*sqrt(10)

c^2 = (2*sqrt(10))^2

c^2 = 2^2*(sqrt(10))^2

c^2 = 4*10

c^2 = 40

------------------------------------

Using the pythagorean theorem, we see that

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

20 + 20 = 40

40 = 40

So the initial equation a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is true making the triangle with sides a,b,c defined above to be a right triangle
