(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

Is 11/2 and 6/11 equivalent? Plz I need the help☹️

trapecia [35]

For this case we have the following fractions:

$\frac {11} {2}\\\frac {6} {11}$

We must rewrite the fractions, using the same denominator.

We have then:

We multiply the first fraction by 11 in the numerator and denominator:

$\frac {11} {2} \frac {11} {11}$

We multiply the second fraction by 2 in the numerator and denominator:

$\frac {6} {11} \frac {2} {2}$

Rewriting we have:

For the first fraction:

$\frac {121} {22}$

For the second fraction:

$\frac {12} {22}$

We note that:

$\frac {121} {22}> \frac {12} {22}$

Answer:

The fractions are not equivalent:

$\frac {11} {2}> \frac {6} {11}$

Point K on the number line shows Kelvin's score after the first round of a quiz: A number line is shown from negative 10 to 0 to

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The correct option is;

3 + (-9) = -6, because -6 is 9 units to the left of 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

Kelvin's score after the first round is shown at point K on the number line

The range of numbers on the number line = -10 to +10

The position of point K after the first round = +3

The number of points Kevin lost in the second round = 9 points

Therefore, Kevin's cumulative score = +3 - 9 = -6

Therefore, the expression that shows how many total points he has at the end is of round 2 = 3 + (-9) = -6, because -6 is 9 units to the left of 3.
