The value of x in the equation is 26.7

<h3>How to solve an equation?</h3>

0.75x + 1.5y = 40

−1.5x − 1.5y = −60

add both equation to eliminate y .

Therefore,

−1.5x + 0.75x = -0.75x

1.5y + (- 1.5y) = 0

40 + (-60) = -20

Hence,

-0.75x  = - 20

divide both sides by -0.75

-0.75x / -0/75 = - 20 / -0.75

x = - 20 / -0.75

x = 26.6666666667

x = 26.7

Find the rate of change in the table​
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's +(-6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically for these, you find the slope. The slope equation is y1-y2/x1-x2.

Pick two points.

I'll just do (1,15) and (2,9).

15-9/1-2 = 6/-1 = -6.

I don't know if you were taught it this way, but my math teacher always told us that the rate of change had to be positive.

So you'd say the rate of change is +(-6), not -6.

Hope that sorta helped lol

Travis wants to solve a quadratic equation. Since his equation cannot be factored, Travis has to graph the equation and approxim
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, calculate out the discriminant for each of the following equations. If the discriminant is a perfect square, then it can be factored.

Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac

The only of the equations that does not yield a perfect square is B. The work for it is done below for you.

Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac

Discriminant = 7^2 - 4(2)(-5)

Discriminant = 49 + 40

Discriminant = 89

Since 89 is not a perfect square, we cannot factor this.
