4. When Megan solved this system using the elimination method, she added the equations together and got the equation 4y = 16. Th

en she solved that equation and got y = 4. Then she substituted 4 in the first equation for y and solved for x. She got x = 4. The point (4, 4) is not the correct solution. Please state in a complete sentence where she made her first mistake. What is the correct solution to the system? 2x + 3y = 20 -2x + y = 4

Hi there!

So, our two equations are:
2x + 3y = 20 and
-2x + y = 4

We can see that the x's will cancel out because they're the same number, opposite signs. Then we're left with 4y = 24.

Divide 24 by 4, which is 6.

y = 6, then we plug that in to the first equation for y:
2x + 3(6) = 20
2x + 18 = 20
2x = 2
x = 1

So, she made her first mistake when adding the equations, adding 20 and 4, she somehow got 16. 

The solution to the system is (1,6).

I hope I helped!

Answer:

  • 5/11

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Corresponding side have same ratio:</u>

  • 55/121 = 5/11 (divide by 11)
  • 40/88 = 5/11 (divide by 8)
  • 30/66 = 5/11  (divide by 6)

The similarity ratio or the scale factor of the larger triangle to the smaller is 5/11

Please help with this question.

(cos Ф -cos Ф)² + (cos Ф + cos Ф)²

Firstly: (cos Ф -cos Ф)² = 0² = 0

Secondly :(cos Ф + cos Ф)² = (2cos Ф)². = 4. (cos Ф)² = 4cos² Ф

Mind you when you raise a cosine (or sin or tan...) to the n power, the n power should affect the cosine only and NOT the angle Ф

Find the distance between the given points (4,1) and (-5, -2)
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

3\sqrt{10} units I THINK

Step-by-step explanation:

using the distance formula, -2 - 1 = -3

-3 x -3 = 9

-5 - 4 = -9 x -9 = 81

81 + 9 = 90

sqrt 90 simplified is 3\sqrt{10}.

so im pretty sure that's the answer.
