Answer:

  (C)  2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations 2a + 7b+2c=16 and 2a + 3b +2c= 8, you want to know the value of b.

<h3>Solution</h3>

The coefficients of 'a' and 'c' are the same in the two equations, so we can eliminate those variables by subtracting one equation from the other. We can keep the resulting coefficient of 'b' positive if we subtract the second equation from the first.

  (2a +7b +2c) -(2a +3b +2c) = (16) -(8)

  4b = 8 . . . . . . . simplify

  b = 2 . . . . . . . divide by 4

Part of the graph of the function f(x) = (x - 1)(x + 7) is
algol [13]

Answer:

True: B, C and D

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the function is shown in the attached diagram.

The vertex of the parabola (parabola is the graph of the function f(x)) is at (-3,-16), because

x_v=\dfrac{1+(-7)}{2}=-3\\ \\y_v=f(-3)=(-3-1)(-3+7)=-4\cdot 4=-16

So, option A is false and option B is true.

As you can see from the graph, the function is increasing for all x>-3, thus option C is true.

The graph is positive for x<-7 and x>1 and negative for -7<x<1, so option D is true and option E is false.

Cassidy wrote the linear equation y=5x+4. Then she wrote the equation of the line that is parallel to y=5x+ and that passes thro
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

The value of b is -42

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel equations have identical or equal slopes. Given the form of the equation; y=5x+b and the point it passes through (8,-2) we determine the unknown value b by substituting x with 8 and y with -2. We solve the equation; -2 =5(8)+b to obtain b = -42
