-3x = -5y -8~~~....(i) \\\\6x -3y = -5 ~~......(ii)\\\\\text{Multiply  equation (i) by 2 and do (i) + (ii):}\\\\2 \cdot (-3x) + 6x  -3y = 2(-5y-8)  + (-5)\\\\\implies -6x +6x -3y = -10y -16 -5 \\\\\implies -3y   = -10y -21\\\\\implies -3y +10y =-21\\\\\implies 7y = -21 \\\\\implies y = -\dfrac{21} 7 = -3\\\\\text{Substitute}~y =-3~ \text{in equation (ii):} \\\\6x - 3(-3) = -5\\\\\implies 6x +9  = -5\\\\\implies 6x = -5 -9 = -14\\\\\implies x = -\dfrac{14}6 = - \dfrac{7}3\\

\text{Hence}~ (x,y) = \left(-\dfrac 73, -3 \right)

How is ordering fractions on a number line similar to and different from ordering whole numbers on a number line?
Karolina [17]

Fractions and whole numbers ordered on the number line are similar because it tells parts throughout the line, like skip counting using adding or subtraction for example.

Whats different from them is because the fractions tell the parts more detailed between the whole numbers, such as 2 3/4 as a fraction on the number line. And 3 as a whole number on the number line.

the altitude of the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the hypotenuse into segments of lengths 14 and 8. what is the length
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

B. 4\sqrt{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangle altitude theorem states that the altitude of a right angled triangles formed on the hypotenuse is equal to the geometric mean of the 2 line segments it creates.

This can be represented as:

h = \sqrt{(xy)}

Where,

h = the length of the altitude,

x and y are the lengths of the 2 segments formed.

Therefore, the length of the altitude = h = \sqrt{(14*8)}

h = \sqrt{112}

h = \sqrt{16}*\sqrt{7}

h = 4\sqrt{7}

Assuming that x=-2 and y=3 evaluate xy-x^3 ​
meriva
(-2^3) = -8.
-2 times 3 = -6.

The expression is now -6 - (-8).

-6 + 8 = 2.

The answer should be 2.
