3x + 2y=-10 equation 1

y=-x -4 equation 2

use the substitution method of elimination to get the answer to the question.

*using substitution

substitute equation 2 in one and we get

3x +2(-x-4)=-10

3x- 2x-8=-10

x=-2 and y=-2

Answer: Choice A

(-2, -2)

=============================================================

Explanation:

I'll use the substitution method to solve this system.

Replace y in the first equation with -x-4. This is because y = -x-4 is mentioned in the second equation.

So,

3x + 2y = -10

3x + 2( y ) = -10

3x + 2( -x-4 ) = -10 .... substitution

3x - 2x - 8 = -10

x - 8 = -10

x = -10+8

x = -2

Then use this to find y

y = -x-4

y = -(x) - 4

y = -(-2) - 4

y = 2 - 4

y = -2

We have x = -2 and y = -2 pair up together

They form the ordered pair solution (x, y) = (-2, -2)

This shows why Choice A is the answer.

Another way to see this is to graph each equation given using a tool like Desmos. It's a free graphing app.

See below.

The two lines intersect at (-2, -2) which is the solution.

Which set of numbers could represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle?

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The first set: 8, 15, and 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the pythagorean theorem, a triangle is a right triangle if and only if

$\text{longest side}^2 = \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2$ .

In this case,

$\text{longest side}^2 = 17^2 = 289$ .

$\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= 8^2 + 15^2\\ &=64 + 225 = 289 \end{aligned}$ .

In other words, indeed $\text{hypotenuse}^2 = \text{first leg}^2 + \text{second leg}^2$ . Hence, 8, 15, 17 does form a right triangle.

Similarly, check the other pairs. Keep in mind that the square of the longest side should be equal to the sum of the square of the two

Factor out the common factor $2$ to simplify the calculations.

$\text{longest side}^2 = 20^2 = 400$

$\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= 10^2 + 15^2\\ &=100 + 225 = 325 \end{aligned}$ .

$\text{longest side}^2 \ne \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2$ .

Hence, by the pythagorean theorem, these three sides don't form a right triangle.

$\text{longest side}^2 = (2\times 11)^2 = 2^2 \times 121$ .

$\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= (2 \times 6)^2 + (2 \times 9)^2\\ &=2^2 \times(36 + 81) = 2^2 \times 117 \end{aligned}$ .

$\text{longest side}^2 \ne \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2$ .

Hence, by the pythagorean theorem, these three sides don't form a right triangle.

$\text{longest side}^2 = 11^2 = 121$ .

<h3> $\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= 7^2 + 9^2\\ &=49+ 81 = 130 \end{aligned}$ .</h3>

$\text{longest side}^2 \ne \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2$ .

Hence, by the pythagorean theorem, these three sides don't form a right triangle.

How many numbers are opposite to themselves?

Answer:

all positive numbers and their negatives are opposites. I suppose you could say infinite and zero are also opposites.
