-4.6(2.2x+3y=15.25) = -10.12x - 13.8y = -70.15
2.2(4.6x+2.1y=18.325) = 10.12x - 4.62y = 40.315
simplify
-4.62y = -29.835
divide both sides by -4.62 to isolate y
y= 6.46
2.2x + 3 (6.46) = 15.25
2.2x + 19.38 = 15.25
subtract 19.38 to both sides
2.2x = -4.3
divide 2.2 to both sides
x= -1.95
I hope that this helped :)
Rewrite the equation into slope intercept form:
8y = -5x+16
divide everything by 8 to get just y
y = -5/8x+2
the slope = -5/8
Answer:
The expression that is greater is a (b - c)
Step-by-step explanation:
- a < 0 and c > b, this means <u>(by the addition property)</u> that c - c > b - c⇒0 > b - c
so for the product <u>a(b - c) </u>we would have a multiplication of a negative number <em>a</em> and another negative number <em>(b - c)</em>. We know that the result of the <u>multiplication of two negative numbers is a positive number.</u>
Therefore, a (b - c) > 0
- a < 0 and c > b, this means <u>by the addition property</u> that c - b > b - b⇒ c - b > 0
so for <u>a(c - b)</u>, we have the negative number <em>a</em> multiplied by the positive number <em>(c - b). </em>We know that the result of the <u>multiplication of a negative number by a positive number is negative. </u>
<u>Therefore a (c - b) < 0</u>
Thus, the expression that is greater is the positive one which is a (b - c)
Answer:
28 eggs
Step-by-step explanation:
It takes a hen and a half to lay an egg and a half in a day and a half - this means it takes 1 hen to lay 1 egg in a day and a half. Therefore, 1 hen will lay 4 eggs in 6 days, and 7 hens will lay 28 eggs in 6 days.
