Solve the system of equations. \begin{aligned} & -5y+8x = -18 &5y+2x = 58 \end{aligned}


−5y+8x=−18
5y+2x=58

Nick has box brads. he uses 4 brads for the first project. nick let’s b represent the original number of brads and finds that for the second project, the number of brads he uses is 8 more than half the difference of b and 4. write an expression to represent the number of brads he uses for the second project.

Adecibel is a logarithmic unit that can be used to measure the intensity of a sound. the function y = 10logx gives the intensity of a sound in decibels, where x is the ratio of the intensity of the sound to a reference intensity. the reference intensity is generally set at the threshold of hearing. use the graphing utility to graph the decibel function.a whisper has a sound intensity of 30 decibels. use your graph to you complete the following statement. the sound intensity of a whisper is times the reference intensity.

The box plots show the distributions of the numbers of words per line in an essay printed in two different fonts.which measure of center would be best to compare the data sets? the median is the best measure because both distributions are left-skewed.the mean is the best measure because both distributions are left-skewed.the median is the best measure because both distributions are symmetric.the mean is the best measure because both distributions are symmetric
