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!

On Saturday, the vacation resort offers a discount on water sports. To take
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Let x be the discounting price of a surfing lessons per person

Let y be the discounted price of a surfing lessons per person

The cost of taking a surfing lesson and go parasailing is $130

x + y = 130--------------(i)

25 people take

Surfing lessons, and 30 people go parasailing and a total of $3,650 is collected

25x + 30y = 3650--------------(ii)

We solve for y using equ (i):

y = 130 - x ------------(iii)

Substitute equ (iii) to equ (ii) and solve for x

25x + 30(130 - x) = 3650

25x + 390 - 30x = 3650

-5x = -250

-x = 50

We solve for y using equ (iii):

y = 130 - x

y = 130 - 50

y = 80

So, the discounted price to take a surfing lesson is $50 and the discounted price to go parasailing is $80

The function g(x) = \frac{1}{2}\left| {x} \right|g(x)= 21​ ∣x∣ is a transformation of the absolute value parent function. Which
Alchen [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

From what we have , it is expected that the parent function is a v-shaped graph that starts from the origin

The expected equation parent function should be;

y = |x|

Now, moving on, the transformed function is 1/2 of the parent function

This shows a direct compression of the initial partner function

So, it is expected that the transformed function is more compressed compared to the initial parent function

so, the correct choice of answer here is first option
