<span>Leah,  Let x=Blair's fish and 2x= Jay's fish; yet together they caught 27 fish.  So, x + 2x=27;  Combine the like terms.  So, 3x=27;  Now divide both sides of the equation by 3, therefore, x=9 which is the amt of fish Blair caught.  So, 2(9)=18 is the amt of fish Jay caught.  Check:  9 +2(9)=27;  27=27.</span>

Step2247 [10]
Linear means the highest exponent on the placholder is 1
it is also just a straight line

y=|x| is like y=(√x)², it is 2 straight lines

B. y=x², exponent is 2 so no

C. y=-3x³, exponent is 3, so no

The length of a rectangle is 11 less than 9 times the width. The
Olin [163]

Answer:

Length = 7   Width = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

L = Length

W = Width

L=9w-11

2L+2W=18

2(9W-11) + 2W = 18

18W - 22 +2W = 18

20W -22 = 18

20W = 40

W = 2

L = 9(2)-11

L=18-11

L=7

Which values for A and B will create infinitely many solutions for this system of equations? Ax-y=8 2x+y=B plss hurry im being t
Lynna [10]

Answer:

A=-2

B=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the system of linear equations to have infinitely many solution, they must be the same equation.

Ax-y=8

2x+y=B

We need to choose A and B so they are the same equation.

I notice they are both in the same form but in the second column you have opposites;

the -y and y.

So im going to multiply either equation by -1 so that part is exactly the same.

Don't choose both; choose only one.

Let's multiply the first equation by -1.

Doing this gives us the following:

-Ax+y=-8

2x+y=B

So now we can choose A and B so these equations appear exactly the same.

We need -A=2 and B=-8.

-A=2 implies A=(opposite of 2) which is -2.

Conclusion:

A=-2

B=-8
