2 answers:

8 0

Answer: x = 2, y = 1

Step-by-Step Solution:

=> x + y = 3 (Eq. 1)
=> x - y = 1 (Eq. 2)

Adding Eq. 1 and Eq. 2, we get :-

2x = 3 + 1
2x = 4
x = 4/2
=> x = 2

Therefore, x = 2

Substitute value of ‘x’ in Eq. 1 :-

x + y = 3
(2) + y = 3
2 + y = 3
y = 3 - 2
=> y = 1

Therefore, y = 1

Hence, x = 2 and y = 1.

Answer:

x = 2, y = 1 or (2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving by elimination method :

x + y + (x - y) = 3 + 1
2x = 4
x = 2

2 - y = 1
y = 1

The solution is : x = 2, y = 1 or (2, 1)

The vertex of this parabola is at (-5, -2). When the x-value is -4, the y-value is 2. What is the coefficient of the squared exp

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola equation is $a=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in its vertex form is:

$y = a(x-h) ^ 2 + k$

Where the vertex of the parabola is the point (h, k)

a is the ceoficiente of the term to the square.

We need to find the equation of a parabola that has its vertex in the point:

(-5, -2)

So:

$h = -5\\\\k = -2$

Therefore the equation is:

$y = a(x - (-5)) ^ 2 -2\\\\y = a(x + 5) ^ 2 -2$

We know that the point (-4, 2) belongs to this parable. Then we can find the value of a by replacing the point in the equation of the parabola

$(2) = a((-4) + 5) ^ 2 -2\\\\2 = a(1) ^ 2 -2\\\\2 = a -2\\\\a = 4$

Finally the coefficient is a = 4

Please Help me!!! I know the answer but I don’t understand how to get that answer

-7 ÷ 2 1/2
Okay, so first, put the -7 over one and make 2 1/2 an improper fraction. so now:
-7/1 ÷ 5/2
Then, take the reciprocal of 5/2 and multiply it by -7/1
-7/1 × 5/2
Which would be -35/2

19 there is a frog and snake exhibit at

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

b.42

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratiois is 3 to 4 .So every 4 snakes is to 3 frogs so since there are 24 snakes devide the 24 by 4 which will give u 6 then multiply the answer by 3 which will give u 18 which represents the total number of frogs then add 18 +24 which is 42.

so then total number of frogs is 42.
