Answer:

C. To get system B, the second equation in system A was replaced by the sum of that equation and the first equation multiplied by -3. The solution to system B will be the same as the solution to system A.

Step-by-step explanation:

System A

x + 6y = 5

3x - 7y = -35

Solution: (-7, 2)

System B

x + 6y = 5

-25y = -50

First equation is same in both system A and B

To get system B, the second equation in system A was replaced by sum of that equation and first equation multiplied by -3

x + 6y = 5 (Multiply by -3)

-3x -18y =-15

now do the sum of 3x - 7y = -35 and -3x -18y =-15

3x - 7y = -35

-3x -18y =-15

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

-25 y = -50

The solution to system B will be the same as the solution to system A.

Answer: Option <span>C. To get system B, the second equation in system A was replaced by the sum of that equation and the first equation multiplied by -3. The solution to system B will be the same as the solution to system A.

First equation of system A multiplied by -3:
(-3)(x+6y=5)
(-3)(x)+(-3)(6)=(-3)(5)
-3x-18=-15

Sum of the second equation of system A and the first equation multiplied by -3:
(-3x-18)+(3x-7y)=(-15)+(-35)
-3x-18+3x-7y=-15-35
-25y=-50

System B
x+6y=5
-25y=-50 </span>

-2b^2-5b+12 factor the trinomial

Bad White [126]

Answer: −(b+4)(2b−3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Factor out the negative sign.

−(2b^2+5b−12)

2. Split the second term in 2b^2+5b−12 into two terms.

−(2b^2+8b−3b−12)

3.Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

−(2b(b+4)−3(b+4))

4. Factor out the common term b+4b+4b+4.

−(b+4)(2b−3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent number of non-fiction books.

We have been given that in the library at Lenape elementary school, there are 3/8 as many fiction books as there are nonfiction books. So number of fiction books would be $\frac{3}{8}x$ .
