Answer:

y = 9/13

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -4 + y

5(-4 + y) + 4y = 7

-20 + 9y = 7

9y = -13

Answer:

5x + 4y = 7 × -2

-2x - 2y = 8 × 5

-10x - 8y = -14

-10x - 10y = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

2y = -54 ÷2

y = -27

Now substitute the value of y into equation (1)

5x + 4y = 7

5x + 4(-27) = 7

5x = 7 + 108

5x = 115

X = 23

The product of a number and -7 amounts to seven times the sum of that number and 20. Find the number.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer: -10

Step-by-step explanation:

If you put it in an equation it would be -7x=7(x+20). You would then -7x to both sides to get -14x=140. Just divide -14 on both sides to isolate x. This equates to -10. If you put -10 back into the equation then it says that 70 is 7 times larger than 10. Which it is.

Which statement describes the translation of y=-1/2(x-2)^2-2 from standard position?
Masteriza [31]
Y = x^2 is the parent function.
y = (x - 2)^2 would translate 2 units to the right
y = (x - 2)^2 - 2 would translate 2 units to the right and also 2 units down
y = - (1/2) (x - 2)^2 - 2
would reflect the parabola upside down, and also make it wider
