Solve the system of equations using the substitution method.
-5x − 3y = 16
y = x

-5x - 3x = 16

-8x = 16

x = -2

y = x

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Make use of the 2nd equation to eliminate x or y in the 1st equation:

-5x - 3(x) = 16

Then -8x = 16, and x = -2.  Since we are told that y = x, y = -2.

The solution is (-2, -2).

the answer is 5636.7

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
