Equation 1)  2x - 6y = 5
Equation 2)  x + y = 2

Multiply all of equation 2 by 2.

2)   2(x + y = 2)

2)  2x + 2y = 4
1)  2x - 6y = 5

Subtract equations from one another.

8y = -1

Divide both sides by 8.

y = -1/8

Plug in -1/8 for x in the first equation.

2x - 6y = 5

2x - 6(-1/8) = 5

Simplify.

2x + 3/4 = 5

Subtract 3/4 from both sides.

2x = 5 - 3/4

Simplify.

2x = 4 1/4

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 17/8 OR 2 1/8

(17/8, -1/8) or if you want it in decimals  (2.125, -0.125)


2x-6y=5                    
x+y=2      y=2-x
2x-6(2-x)=5
2x-12+6=5
8x-12=5
8x=17
x=17/8

(17/8)+y=2   You plug in the x-value to find the y-value now
y=2-17/8
y=-1/8

What is the power of 10 when 0.000028 is written in scientific notation
Luden [163]
The power of 10 is -5 

Move the decimal point to the right until the first significant number and in this problem it is 2. It took 5 places to the right until going past the 2 and the number would be negative because going right past the decimal point will make any power negative.

Talja [164]

Answer:

Four less than an unknown value E) y-4

Quotient of a variable and four B) \frac{z}{4}

Some number to the power of four A) a^4

Four times an unknown value D) 4x

Four more than some number C) b+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's analyze each statement separately:

- Four less than an unknown value --> this means that we have to subtract 4 to an unknown value. Calling y the unknown value, it means we have to write

y-4

- Quotient of a variable and four --> this means we have to divide a variable by 4. Calling z the unknown variabl, it means we have to write

\frac{z}{4}

- Some number to the power of four --> this means that we have to write the power of a number, in the form a^m, where m in this case is equal to 4. Calling a the unknown number, it means we have to write

a^4

- Four times an unknown value --> this means that we have to multiply an unknown value by 4. Calling x our unknown values, we have to write

4x

- Four more than some number --> this means we have to add 4 to an unknown number. Calling b the unknown number, it means we have to write

b+4
