Answer:

(2, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 7 → (1)

3x + 2y = 8 → (2)

multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by - 2 and adding will eliminate x

6x + 9y = 21 → (3)

- 6x - 4y = - 16 → (4)

add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x

0 + 5y = 5

5y = 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 1

substitute y = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

substituting into (1)

2x + 3(1) = 7

2x + 3 = 7 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

solution is (2, 1 )

Answer:

Jill's best friend jumped 8/21 feet further than Jill.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

Jill jumped 6 1/3 feet

Jill best friend jumped 6 5/7 feet

To find out how much farther did Jill's best friend jumped, subtract the length that Jill jumped from the length that Jill best friend jumped

$6\frac{5}{7}-6\frac{1}{3}$

but first convert mixed number to improper fraction

$6\frac{5}{7}\ ft=\frac{6*7+5}{7}=\frac{47}{7}\ ft$

$6\frac{1}{3}\ ft=\frac{6*3+1}{3}=\frac{19}{3}\ ft$

substitute the values

$\frac{47}{7}-\frac{19}{3}=\frac{47*3-7*19}{21}=\frac{8}{21}\ ft$

therefore

Jill's best friend jumped 8/21 feet further than Jill.

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line x = −5 and passes through the point (1, π). A) y = π B) y = πx C

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The equation of a horizontal line:}\ y=a.\\\\\text{The equation of a vertical line:}\ x=a\\\\a-any\ real\ number\\\\\text{We have}\ x=-5.\ \text{It's a vertical line.}\ \text{The line that is perpendicular}\\\text{to the vertical line is a horizontal line.}\\\\\text{The line passes through the point}\ (1,\ \pi)\to x=1,\ y=\pi.\\\\\text{Therefore the equation is}\ y=\pi$
