Answer:

(2, -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the two equations to solve.  The x-values are cancelled out.  Solve for y.

<em>    y = -2x - 4</em>

<u><em>+  y = 2x - 12</em></u>

<em> 2y = -16</em>

y = -8

Now, plug in the y-value into one of the equations to solve for x.

<em>y = 2x - 12</em>

<em>-8 = 2x - 12</em>

<em>(-8) + 12 = (2x - 12) + 12</em>

<em>4 = 2x</em>

<em>(4)/2 = (2x)/2</em>

x = 2

The solution is (2, -8).

Answer:

x=2, y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-2x-4

y=2x-12

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

Subtract the two equations

y=-2x-4

-y=-2x+12

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

0 = -4x +8

Subtract 8 from each side

-8 = -4x+8-8

-8 = -4x

Divide by -4

-8/-8 = -4x/-4

2 =x

Then solve for y

y = -2x-4

y = -2(2) -4

y = -4-4

y = -8

600 - 280 = 320 cards are left

320 / 600 = 8 / 15 = 0.5333 = 53.33%

The correct result is D. 53.33%.

It is given that R=2q-5 and Q=3p+2. Find the numerical value of R when p=3​
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

R = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

R = 2q - 5

Q = 3p + 2

Find the numerical value of R when p = 3

R = 2q - 5

R = 2(3p + 2) - 5

R = 6p + 4 - 5

R = 6p - 1

When p = 3

R = 6(3) - 1

R = 18 - 1

R = 17

The length, l, that a spring is stretched varies directly as the amount of force, F, applied to the end of the spring. When a fo
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

C. 4.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Force, F = 10 pounds

Extension, e = 3 inches

First of all, we would determine the spring constant (k) using the following formula;

Force = spring constant * extension

10 = spring constant * 3

Spring constant = 10/3

Spring constant = 3.33 pounds per inches.

Next, we would find the extension of the spring when a force of 15 pounds is applied;

F = ke

15 = 3.33 * e

Extension, e = 15/3.33

Extension, e = 4.5 inches.
