Answer:

x = -3 and y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

-7x + 6y = 9

   ----(1)

-2x - 5y = 16    -------(2)

<u>To find the solution of given equations </u>

eq(1) * 2 ⇒

-14x + 12y = 18 ------(3)

eq(2) * 7 ⇒

-14x - 35y = 112   ---(4)

eq (3) - eq(4) ⇒

-14x + 12y = 18 ------(3)

-14x - 35y = 112   ---(4)

    0   4y = -94

y = 94/(-47) = -2

Substitute the value of y in eq (2)

-2x - 5y = 16    -------(2)

-2x - 5*-2 = 16

-2x +10 = 16

-2x = 6

x = 6/-2 = -3

Therefore x = -3 and y = -2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: You are given the equation of -7x+6y=9 and -2x-5y=16 and you are asked to find what x=? and what y=?

First step is to write down the problem

-2x-5y=16

next add 5y over the equal sign.

-2x=5y+16

Next is too divide by -2

-2x/-2=5y+16/-2

after solving you get

x=-2.5y-8

now you substitute the equation into the other formula to get

-7(-2.5y-8)+6y=9

then solve by doing -7*-2.5y and -7*-8 to get 17.5y and 56 which will give you

17.5y+56+6y=9

Next you subtract 56 to the other side to get 9-56 or -47 now you have

17.5y+6y=-47

next is too add the 17.5y and 6y together to get 23.5y

23.5y=-47

next is too divide by 23.5

23.5y/23.5=-47/23.5

solve to get y=-2, now this is half you the problem

Step two is too substitute what y=-2 into the equation of x=-2.5y-8 to get

x=-2.5(-2)-8

Solve to get

x=5-8

Solve again to get

x=-3

Your answers are x=-3 and y=-2

grin007 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (3/2)ˣ

g(x) = (2/3)ˣ

These are examples of exponential equations:

y = a bˣ

If b > 1, the equation is exponential growth.

If 0 < b < 1, the equation is exponential decay.

So f(x) is an example of exponential growth, and g(x) is an example of exponential decay.

Also, 2/3 is the inverse of 3/2, so:

g(x) = (3/2)^(-x)

So more specifically, f(x) and g(x) are reflections of each other across the y-axis.

Pls help me to answer this​
Flauer [41]

Answers:

T-shirt = $25

Shorts = $15

Books = $50

Shoes = $30

Cell phones = $750

===============================================

Explanation:

Taking 10% of a number is simply moving the decimal point over one spot to the left.

For example, the selling price of a t-shirt is $250.00 and taking 10% of this gets us to $25.00

As another example, 10% of 150.0 is 15.0

If a whole number ends with a 0, then taking 10% of the number means we chop that zero off.

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: 12 people per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take the number of people loaded every 5 minutes (60) and divided it by 5

You will get 12, which means you can load 12 people on the rollercoaster per minute.
