(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

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

39,096,288

Step-by-step explanation:

as we know that

The number of ways to pick 5 numbers from 45  are

45C_5

\frac{45\times44\times43\times42\times41}{5\times4\times3\times2\times1}|

= 1,221,759.

There are 32 ways to pick a gold ball so total number of ways to get  6 matching numbers is

1221759×32

= 39,096,288

Solve the system.
patriot [66]

Answer:

D.(2,-1,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

-a+4b+2c=-8

3a+b-4c=9

b = -1

Substitute b=-1 into the other equations

-a -4 +2c = -8

3a -1 -4c =9

Multiply the first equation by 2 so we can eliminate c

-2a -8 +4c = -16

Add this to the second equation

-2a -8 +4c = -16

3a -1 -4c =9

-----------------

a -9 = -7

Add 9 to each side

a-9+9 = -7+9

a =2

b=-1

Now we need to find c

-a +4b +2c = -8

-2 -4 +2c = -8

-6+2c = -8

Add 6 to each side

-6+6 +2c = -8+6

2c = -2

Divide by 2

2c/2 = -2/2

c=-1

(2,-1,-1)
