2x+3y= -17
5x+2y= -4
You must cancel either the x or y out to solve so i'm going to cancel the x.
-5(2x+3y= -17)
2(5x+2y= -4)
This simplifies to:
-15x -15y=85
15x+4y= -8
The -15x and 15x cancel out leaving you:
-15y=85
4y= -8
You add them top numbers by the bottom and get:
-11y=77
Then divide by -11 to get y by its self.
y= -7
Now that you know what y is just plug it in to either original problem. I will use the second one.
5x + 2(-7) = -4
5x -14 = -4
5x = 10
x = 2
So the answer is (2,-7) or x=2 and y=-7
Answer:
Decay
since 0.292 is less than 1
% rate of decrease
1 - 0.292 = 0.708
70.8%
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6k^2
------- = 2k; and:
3k
-15k
------- = -5
3k
-5 cannot be evenly divided by 3k, so there's a remainder instead.
6k^2 - 15k - 5
-------------------- = 2k -5 with remainder -5.
3k
Answer:
n = 30m + 1,200
Step-by-step explanation:
let n = gallons
m = minutes
There are 30 gallons per minute, so 30 is multiplied by the minutes, and because there are already 1,200 gallons of water, you add 1,200
