5x + 4y = 12 ⇒ 3(5x + 4y = 12) ⇒ 15x + 12y = 36

3x - 3y = 18 ⇒ 4(3x - 3y = 18) ⇒ <u> 12x - 12y</u> = <u>72 </u>

27x = 108

$\frac{27x}{27}$ = $\frac{108}{27}$

x = 4

5x + 4y = 12 ⇒ 5(4) + 4y = 12 ⇒ 20 + 4y = 12 ⇒ 4y = -8 ⇒ y = -2

Answer: x = 4, y = -2

First you solve for y.
5x+ y= 12 so Y= 12-5x
And plug it into the next equation
3x- 3(12-5x) = 18
Distribute
3x-36+15x=18
Add 36 to both sides
3x+ 15x= 54
18x= 54 ... divide
x= 3
And you can plug in x to solve for Y
5(3) + y = 12
15+ y = 12 ...subtract 15 from both sides
y= -3

Which value of x makes the equation 0.75(x + 20) = 2 + 0.5(x − 2) true?

rodikova [14]

You’d have to solve your equations!

they’d be the same when x=-56

and when x=-56 they’d BOTH equal -27

Answer:

59 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

(40m)(5280ft)=211,200 ft/hr
(211,200 ft/hr )=(211,200ft/3600s)
58.7 ft/s

What is the equation of the line in slope intercept form using these points?

deff fn [24]

Answer:

y = -x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The slope-intercept form of any linear equation is y = mx + b, where y = y-coordinate, m = slope, x = x-coordinate, and b = y-intercept.

2. To find the slope given two points, we can use the formula $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ and plug in the corresponding variable.

$\frac{5-(-2)}{-6-1}$
$\frac{5+2}{-7}$
$\frac{7}{-7}$
$-1$

3. Okay, so the slope is -1x or just -x. This means that the equation looks like this so far: y = -x + b

4. To find b, the y-intercept, we can take the equation of $b = y_1 - m * x_1$ and plug in the values!

$b = -2-(-1)*1$
$b = -2 + 1 * 1$
$b = -1 * 1$
$b = -1$

5. Now that we have our y-intercept and slope, let's plug in those values and find the equation!

$y = -x - 1$

Therefore, the equation of the line is y = -x - 1. I hope this helped you!
