I got you, just follow my work

-2x+3=-5x+9

-2x=-5x+6

3x=6

x=2

Plug x back in

-2(2)+3= -1

y=-1

FINAL ANSWER: (2,-1)

So remember the transitive property here:

"If a = b and a = c, then b = c"

In this case, since y = -2x + 3 and y = -5x + 9, this means that -2x + 3 = -5x + 9. Substitute -5x + 9 into y of the first equation to solve for x:

$-2x + 3 = -5x + 9$

Firstly, add 5x to both sides of the equation: $3x + 3 = 9$

Next, subtract 3 on both sides: $3x=6$

Lastly, divide both sides by 3 and your first answer will be $x=2$

Next, since we have the value of x, substitute it into either equation to solve for y as such:

$y=-2(2)+3\\y=-4+3\\y=-1\\\\y=-5(2)+9\\y=-10+9\\y=-1$

Putting it all together, your answer is (2,-1).

John wants to find the center of a wall so he can hang a picture. He measures the wall and determines it is 65.25" wide. 65.25"

Viktor [21]

It is given that John wants to find the center of a wall so he can hang a picture. So, John measures the wall and determines it is 65.25 inches wide. Since John has determined that the wall measures a particular amount that means that John has quantified the width of the wall, which in this case comes out to be 65.25 inches.

Again, this is a single number. This means that the width of the wall is a discrete quantity.

Thus, 65.25 inches or 65.25" is a Quantitative and Discrete type of data. Thus, out of the given options, the first option is the correct one.
