Answer:

-36/7 or -5.14287

Step-by-step explanation:

so I would get rid of parentheses you do not need them

$\frac{-6+-30}{5--2}$ = $\frac{-36}{7}$ (because when two negative come before two numbers like -x-y they are being added but negative is present to the result of the sum, when one negative sign comes after a number and the other negative sign comes before a number, like x--y they are being added as well but negative is not present to the result of the sum)

-36/7=-5.1428

hope this helps!

For each order pair (x,y) , determine whether it is a solution to the inequality 4x-6y_< - 18

anyanavicka [17]

Solution:

Given:

$4x-6y\leq-18$

To determine if an ordered pair is a solution, we substitute the x and y-values into the inequality and check if it is true.

Thus,

$\begin{gathered} For\text{ the point }(-9,-2) \\ x=-9,y=-2 \\ 4x-6y\leq-18 \\ 4(-9)-6(-2)=-36+12=-24 \\ Since\text{ }-24$

$\begin{gathered} For\text{ the point }(0,3) \\ x=0,y=3 \\ 4x-6y\leq-18 \\ 4(0)-6(3)=0-18=-18 \\ Since\text{ }-18=-18,\text{ then }(0,3)\text{ is a solution} \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} For\text{ the point }(5,-3) \\ x=5,y=-3 \\ 4x-6y\leq-18 \\ 4(5)-6(-3)=20+18=38 \\ Since\text{ }38>-18,\text{ then }(5,-3)\text{ is not a solution} \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} For\text{ the point }(8,5) \\ x=8,y=5 \\ 4x-6y\leq-18 \\ 4(8)-6(5)=32-30=2 \\ Since\text{ }2>-18,\text{ then }(8,5)\text{ is not a solution} \end{gathered}$
