<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>
8x + 5y = 18 ------- eqn 1
6x + y = -2 -------- eqn 2
Multiply eqn 2 by -5
-30x -5y = 10 ----- eqn 3
Add eqn 1 and eqn 3 so that y terms gets eliminated
8x + 5y = 18
-30x -5y = 10
( + ) --------------
-22x = 28
Divide both sides by -22

Substitute the x value in eqn 1


Answer:
<em>Student 2 is incorrect because he didn't use the formula properly</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential function is often used to model natural growing or decaying processes, where the change is proportional to the actual quantity.
An exponential decaying function is expressed as:

Where:
C(t) is the actual value of the function at time t
Co is the initial value of C at t=0
r is the decaying rate, expressed in decimal
The initial value of the item is Co=$1000, the rate of decay is r=40%=0.4, and the time is t=3 years.
Substituting into the formula:


C(3)=$216
Student 2 is incorrect because he didn't use the formula properly
6m+23
You have to use distributive property, so 15x2=30 and 2x3m= 6m. You then subtract 30 from 7 and get 23.
