Answer:

x= -1/2 and -32

y = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 2(-4x-8y)= (-48)2

8x+3y =-34

*to create a way to cancel out the x*

2) -8x-16y= -96

8x+3y= -34

*add them

-8x +8x =0

-16y + 3y = -13y

-96+ -34= -130

3) -13y =-130

isolate y

4) y = -10

*plug in* to find x into both original equations*

5) 8x + 3(-10) = -34. -4x-8(-10)= -48

*follow order of operations to solve for x

6) 8x -30 =-34. -4x +80 = -48

7) 8x =-4. -4x =128

8) x= -1/2. x = -32

If numerator is 2 less than the denominator of a rational number and when 1 is subtracted from numerator and denominator both, t

xenn [34]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the denominator be x
So, numerator = x - 2
According to the given condition: when 1 is subtracted from numerator and denominator both, the resulting new rational number in its simplest form is $\frac{1}{2}$

$\implies \frac{x-2-1}{x-1}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\implies \frac{x-3}{x-1}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\implies 2(x-3)=x -1$

$\implies 2x-6=x -1$

$\implies 2x-x=6-1$

$\implies x=5$

$\implies x-2=-5-2= 3$

$Required \: rational\: number = \frac{3}{5}$

What expression using gcf 14xy+8yz

salantis [7]

Answer:

2y(7x + 4z)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the common factors of both terms

The gcf of 14 and 8 is 2

The gcf of xy and yz is y

Thus the gcf of both terms is 2y, thus

14xy + 8yz

= 2y(7x + 4z)

Tell whether x and y show direct variation. Explain your reasoning. y−x=0

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation is represented as

y = kx, where k is a constant.

We can rewrite y - x = 0 as

y = x (add x to both sides)

This can be looked at as

y = (1)x , so this is a direct variation relationship where k = 1
