ruslelena [56]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 3

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x+2y=-4   -----(eq1)

4x-5y=-8 ------(eq 2)

by elimination,

(eq1) + (eq 2),

(-4x+2y) + (4x-5y) = -4 + (-8)

-4x+2y + 4x-5y = -4 -8

2y-5y = -12

-3y = -12   (divide both sides by -3)

y = -12 / (-3) = 12/3 = 4  (sub back into (eq 1) )

-4x+2y=-4   -----(eq1), when y = 4,

-4x+2(4)=-4  

-4x+8 = -4    (subtract 8 from both sides)

-4x= -4   - 8

-4x= -12 (divide both sides by -4)

x = -12 / (-4) = 3

Write a linear equation in standard form for the line that goes through (4,3)<br> and (8,2).
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Ax + By = C

A, B and C can be any number--including negative numbers, zero and one! So examples of standard form can look like this:

3_x_ + 7_y_ = 10, where A = 3, B = 7 and C = 10.

Or they can look like this:

x + 5_y_ = 6. In this case, A = 1, B = 5 and C = 6.

Or this:

8_y_ = 9. In this case, A = 0, which is why x does not appear in the equation. B = 8 and C = 9, as you would expect.

And here's one more:

3_x_ − 5_y_ = 12. Here, A = 3, B = −5 and C = 12. Notice that in this case, B is negative five!

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B and C can be any number.
