this is a 2x2 system of equations.

Let:

-2x = 4y + 6 (1)

and

2(2y+3) = 3x - 5 (2)

Let's rewrite (1) as:

2x + 4y = -6 (1)

and (2) as:

3x - 4y = 11 (2)

Now, from (1)

Let's solve for x:

2x + 4y = -6

Subtract 4y from both sides:

2x + 4y - 4y = -6 - 4y

2x = -6 - 4y

Divide both sides by 2:

2x/2 = (-6 - 4y)/2

x = -3 - 2y (3)

Replacing (3) into (2)

3x - 4y = 11

3(-3 - 2y) - 4y = 11

Using distributive property:

-9 - 6y - 4y = 11

Add like terms:

-10y - 9 = 11

Add 9 to both sides:

-10y - 9 + 9 = 11 + 9

-10y = 20

Divide both sides by -10:

(-10y)/-10 = 20/-10

y = -2

Finally, replace the value of y into (3)

x = -3 - 2y

x = -3 - 2(-2)

x = -3 + 4

x = 1

Therefore the solution is :

x= 1 and y=-2

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

Nick cut a circular cookie into 5 equal slices. what is the angle measure of each slice?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

72°

Step-by-step explanation:

The cookie has a shape of a circle. A circle is the locus of a point such that its distance from a point (center) is always the same. The sum of angles around the circle center is 360°.

Let x be the measure of the angle in each slice. Therefore the sum of the total 5 slice is:

x + x + x + x + x  = 360

5x = 360

Dividing through by 5:

5x / 5 = 360 / 5

x = 72°

Each slice has an angle measure of 72°

A farm has 75 acres of wheat. The farmer can only harvest 12 acres per day. How many days will all of the fields be harvested?
eduard
7 days because 12 per day 12×6=72 but you need 3 more acres so it would be another day for it to be 7

Describe 2 different ways to show 2 fractions are equipment
never [62]

Multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number.<span> Two fractions that are different but equivalent have, by definition, numerators and denominators that are multiples of each other. In other words, multiplying the numerator and denominator of a </span>fraction<span> by the same number will produce an equivalent fraction. Though the numbers in the new fraction will be different, the fractions will have the same value.</span><span>For instance, if we take the fraction 4/8 and multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2, we get (4×2)/(8×2) = 8/16. These two fractions are equivalent.(4×2)/(8×2) is essentially the same as 4/8 × 2/2 Remember that when multiplying two fractions, we multiply across, meaning numerator to numerator and denominator to denominator.Notice that 2/2 equals 1 when you carry out the division. Thus, it's easy to see why 4/8 and 8/16 are equivalent since multiplying 4/8 × (2/2) = 4/8 still. The same way it’s fair to say that 4/8 = 8/16.<span>Any given fraction has an infinite number of equivalent fractions. You can multiply the numerator and denominator by any whole number, no matter how large or small to obtain an equivalent fraction.</span></span>
