Step-by-step explanation:
To solve a system of equations, we can add the two equations and solve for one of the remaining variables -- let's try to eliminate the 
variable when we add the two equations together.
Right now, there's a 
term in the first equation, and a 
term in the second equation, so if we add those together, we'll be able to eliminate the variable altogether and solve for 
.
However, when we also have a 
term in the first equation and 
term in the second equation, so adding these together will also eliminate the term, leaving a 
on the left-hand side of the equation.
If we add the two numbers on the right side of the equation, we get 
, which does not equal , meaning there are no solutions to this system of equations.
Answer:
- final balance: A
- initial investment: P
- return rate: r
Step-by-step explanation:
The variable assigments can be anything you like. It is often helpful to use variables that will remind you what they stand for. Here, we have chosen A = amount (final balance); P = principal (initial investment); r = rate.
Answer:
x = 6
<u><em>Sorry if this answer is not correct, if it is or is not, please tell me in the comments!</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
All of the angles add up to 180 degrees (since it is a triangle), so
(11x - 3) + (7x + 5) + (13x - 8) = 180
Then, combine the like terms.
31x - 6 = 180
Now, out goal is to separate the x from everything. To do that, we need to add 6 to 180.
31x = 186
Then divide by 31.
x = 6
(Feel free to replace x with 6 back in the previous equation to double check it!)
Answer:
y = 2/3x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The simpliest way to determine the slope of the line is to see the rise over run of the line. In this case, we are given two points which are at (0, -1) and (3,1)
By calculating rise of run, we can see that the starting point goes up by 2 units, from -1 to 1 and goes to the right 3 units, from 0 to 3
In this case, that means we have a slope of 2/3x.
The +b plays into the y-intercept of the line, which is actually the same of one of our points: (0,-1)
Since this number is a negative, it would actually be y = (2/3)x + (-1) which is the same as y=2/3x - 1
