The elimination method is used for solving linear systems of equations.It is way of solving a linear system of equations.In the elimination method we either add or subtract the equations to get an equation in one variable.The main concept behind elimination method is to create terms with opposite coefficients because they cancel each other when added.

When the coefficients of one variable are opposites you add the equations to eliminate a variable and when the coefficients of one variable are equal you subtract the equations to eliminate a variable.

When Heather has to solve this system of equations using elimination her first step will be to make the coefficients of x or y the same   so that one of the variable is eliminated on addition or subtraction of the equations.

I don’t know what the equation is but when using elimination you should cancel out opposite numbers such as 4x and negative 4x

A band expects to put 12 songs on their next CD. The band writes and records 25​% more songs than they expect to put on the CD.

12 songs. 25% of 12 is 3, so you add 3 to 12 and get 15. You then find that 20% of 15 is 3 so you subtract 3 from 15 and get 12 again.

If a line perpendicular to 2y=x+5 that passes through (2,1) using the slope- intercept form
arlik [135]
Slope of  2y = x + 5:-
This is y = 0.5 x + 2.5  in slope intercept form so its slope = 0.5

Slope of the line perpendicular to it = -1 / 0.5 = -2

it passes through (2 , 1) so we have

y- 1 = -2(x - 2)
y = -2x + 4 + 1

The answer is y = -2x + 5

Plz help me with this
jeyben [28]

Only the last two options are true.

The first one is false, because 4.5 is the value of the maximum of f(x), not the point where it is reached.

The second one is false, because g(x) has a maximum of 9, so it is a downward-facing parabola (just like f(x)), so it doesn't have a minimum.

The third one is true, because the maximum value of f(x) is 4.5, and the maximum value of g(x) is 9, which is twice the maximum of f(x)

The last one is false (see point 2).
