(1) 3x+2y=12
(2) -4x+6y=24

Solving the system of equations using the method of substitution:
Isolating y in the first equation:
(1) 3x+2y=12→3x+2y-3x=12-3x→2y=12-3x→2y/2=(12-3x)/2→y=(12-3x)/2

Replacing "y" by (12-3x)/2 in the second equation:
(2) -4x+6y=24
y=(12-3x)/2→-4x+6[(12-3x)/2]=24

Solving for x:
-4x+3(12-3x)=24
-4x+36-9x=24
-13x+36=24
-13x+36-36=24-36
-13x=-12
-13x/(-13)=-12/(-13)
x=12/13

Replacing "x" by 12/13 in y=(12-3x)/2
x=12/13→y=[12-3(12/13)]/2
y=(12-36/13)/2
y={[(13)(12)-36]/13}/2
y=[(156-36)/13]/2
y=(120/13)/2
y=(120/13)(1/2)
y=60/13

x=12/13; y=60/13
-x+2y=-12/13+2(60/13)
-x+2y=-12/13+120/13
-x+2y=(-12+120)/13
-x+2y=108/13

Answer: The value of -x+2y is 108/13

5/8 divided by 3/4 what the answer
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

20/24. Simplified answer is 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 divided by 3/4 is the same as asking 5/8 times 4/3

When dividing a number by a fraction, you can always just multiply by the fraction with its numerator and denominator switched!

So, now we have 5/8 times 4/3

Step 1: Multiply the numerators together. 5 times 4 = 20

Step 2: Multiply the denominators together. 8 times 3 = 24

Step 3: Put the new numerator over the new denominator. 20 over 24 is 20/24

Step 4: Simplify the fraction if necessary. 20 and 24 share a common factor of 4, so divide both the numerator and denominator by 4.  

20 divided by 4 = 5

24 divided by 4 = 6

So, 20/24 is equal to 5/6.

The wavelength of green lights is about 0.00000051 meter. What is the estimated wavelength as a single digit times a power of 10
kari74 [83]

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

<h2>5.1 X 10^-7</h2>

<u><em>Reason:</em></u>

It is to the -7 because you would have to move the decimal left (-) 7 times to get the original 0.00000051.

Hope this helps! ;)

The graph of f(x) = |x| is transformed to g(x) = [X + 11-7. On which interval is the function decreasing?
puteri [66]

Answer:

The interval of the decreasing function is (-∞ , -1) ⇒ g(x)

The interval of the decreasing function is (-∞ , 0) ⇒ f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve it

- Decreasing function means a function with a graph that moves

 downward as it is followed from left to right.

- For example, any line with a negative slope is decreasing function

- Lets look to the attached graph to understand the meaning of the

 decreasing function

∵ f(x) = IxI ⇒ green graph

∵ g(x) = Ix + 1I - 7 ⇒ purple graph

- From the graph f(x) translated 1 unit to the left and 7 units down to

 form g(x)

- The domains of f(x) and g(x) are all real numbers {x : x ∈ R}

- The range of f(x) is {y : y ≥ 0}

- The range of g(x) is {y : y ≥ -7}

# For f(x)

- The slope of the green line from (-∞ , 0) is negative

- The slope of the green line from (0 , ∞) is positive

# For g(x)

- The slope of the purple line from (-∞ , -1) is negative

- The slope of the purple line from (-1 , ∞) is positive

∵ The line with negative slope represent decreasing function

∴ The interval of the decreasing function is (-∞ , -1) ⇒ g(x)

∴ The interval of the decreasing function is (-∞ , 0) ⇒ f(x)
