Question 973650: I am trying to figure out a system of equations problem:
-2x=-10y-2
-x=8y=5
Here's what I did:
I chose to use the top equation:
-2x=-10y-2
+2 +2
-2x+2= -10y
/10 /10
Y= -2/10X =2
Then, I plugged that answer into the equation:

-x+8(-2/10x+2) =5
I had no idea of how to finish, but this is what I did..........

I started with what was in the parenthesis and multiplied 8 times -2 and got -- -16/10x.
Then I multiplied 8 times the other 2 and got 16
-x + -16/10x + 16= 5
Then, I added the -x to the -16x and got -17/10x + 16= 5
I then divided 17/10 from both sides and got a -.0647058.... for x

I stopped here, because the answer is not making any sense

Question 974048: Average cost of a new car has been changing approximately linearly with time. In 1990, the average cost was $16,950, and the average cost was $27,957 in 2008. Let X= number of years after 1990 and let Y= average cost of a new car. A) What ordered pairs can be written to express this information? and B) write equation of the line through these points in point slope form.
I set up ordered pairs as (1990, 16790) (2008, 27957). I labeled ordered pairs as X1,Y1 and X2,Y2, respectively to solve for the slope. Once I get slope can solve for equation of line using slope intercept formula Y= mx +b. I believe my order pairs are not correct and therefore my slope not correct and can not find error. Please provide assistance with correct ordered pairs and help with equation of the line through the ordered pairs two points in point-slope form.

Construction of the Tower of Pisa was completed in 1360. By 1990, the tilt of the tower was so severe that it was closed for renovation. Renovators were able to reduce the tower's 1990 tilt by 17 inches. The resultant tower leans 13.5 feet (162 inches) off the perpendicular. When the tower was reopened in 2001, officials forecast that it would take 300 years for the tower to return to its 1990 tilt.�
(a) Construct a linear formula that models the lean of the renovated tower, where l is the number of inches from the perpendicular and t is the number of years since 2001.
The formula is: 162+(17/300)t

Use the formula from part (a) to predict the lean of the tower in 2150. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
