Need help solving systems by elimination

Ok so 6x - 3y = -21
And 4x = 3y - 9
From the second equation, 4x - 3y = -9
So if you subtract the second from the first,
(6x-3y) - (4x-3y) = -21 - (-9)
So 2x = -12
x = -6

Now we know x=-6, and you can sub it back into any equation:
6(-6) -3y = -21
-36 - 3y = -21
-3y = 15
y = -5

So x=-6 and y=-5
Hope this helps

A storm is brewing, and the ship must make it to the
saul85 [17]

The distance between the ship and the light house is 139.28 km.

Solution:

The given image shows, it is right triangle.

Height = 50 km

Base = 130 km

Hypotenuse = ?

Using Pythagoras theorem,

<em>In right triangle, square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.</em>

\text{Hypotenuse}^2=50^2+130^2

\text{Hypotenuse}^2=2500+16900

\text{Hypotenuse}^2=19400

Taking square root on both sides, we get

Hypotenuse = 10\sqrt{194}

Hypotenuse = 139.28 km

The distance between the ship and the light house is 139.28 km.

15) A new BMW decreases in value exponentially after it is purchased. If a new BMW is valued at $55,000 and
tia_tia [17]

The values of BMW after 2 years and 4 years  according to the EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION are $33,462 and $20,358.28

Using the parameters given, we define an decreasing exponential function :

A = A_{0} (1 - r)^{t}

Where,

A_{0} = initial amount ; r = Rate ; t = time ; A = final amount

Value after 2 years :

t = 2

A = 55000(1 - 0.22)²

A = 55000(0.78)²

A = $33,462

Value after 4 years :

t = 4

A = 55000(1 - 0.22)^4

A = 55000(0.78)^4

A = $20,358.28

Therefore, the value of BMW after 2 years and 4 years $33,462 and $20,358.28 respectively.
