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.

Evaluate the expression (ab)2 for a = 4 and b = 3. A. 36 B. 24 C. 81 D.144
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Option D = 144

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you are not putting the expression correctly. I'm assuming you are mean to say (ab)². This is because if you want to multiply by 2, the 2 usually goes first like this 2ab. But it's not case, so, it should be as I said.

Now, let's replace the values for a and b into the expression:

(ab)² = (4 * 3)² = (12)² = (12*12) = 144

That's is why is option D.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

m∡P = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

15m + 17 + 4m - 10 + 7m - 9 = 180

26m - 2 = 180

26m = 182

m = 7

∡P = 7(7) - 9 = 49 - 9 = 40
