Answer:

A. (-13,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}-2a+3b=14\\a-4b=3\end{array}\right.

From the second equation:

a=3+4b

Substitute it into the first equation:

-2(3+4b)+3b=14\\ \\-6-8b+3b=14\\ \\-8b+3b=14+6\\ \\-5b=20\\ \\5b=-20\\ \\b=-4

So,

a=3+4b=3+4\cdot (-4)=3-16=-13

The solution is (-13,-4)

I need help with this. I'll mark brainliest to whoever is correct
zaharov [31]

Answer:

As shown in picture, the area is divided into 4 parts: 3 triangles and 1 rectangles.

Total area:

A = smallest triangle + medium triangle + largest triangle + rectangle

   = 2 x 2 x 1/2 + 2 x 6 x 1/2 + 4 x (2 + 2 + 6) x 1/2 + 2 x 2

   = 2 + 6 + 20 + 4

   = 32

Hope this helps!

You triple your account balance by making a deposit. Then you withdraw $28.50 from your bank account. Now your account is overdr
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Your original account balance before you made the deposit is $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = your original account balance.

You triple your account balance by making a deposit. This means

New account balance = 3 × x = 3x

Then you withdraw $28.50 from your bank account. This means that you have $(3x - 28.5) left.

Now your account is overdrawn by $10.50. This means you have withdrawn beyond what you have in your account. Your new account balance is -$10.5. Therefore,

3x - 28.5 = - 10.5

3x = -10.5 + 28.5 = 18

x = 18/3 = 6

Your original account balance before you made the deposit is $6

Graham paid $87.45 for a pair of jeans. This amount included a tax of 40%. What was the cost of the jeans before tax?
kiruha [24]

The final price is the cost plus the tax.

Since we know the tax and a percent, we can write this as

T = C(1+r)

T = what Graham paid = $87.45

C = cost before tax

r = tax rate expressed as a decimal = .40

Plugging in what we know

87.45 = C (1+.4)

87.45 = C(1.4)

Divide both sides by 1.4

C = $62.46

is (-1/2 x + 6/7) - (7/2 x - 4/7) equivalent to -4 x + 2/7 ? use the properties of operations to justify your answer
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The given equation is NOT justified.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given equation is (\frac{-1}{2}x + \frac{6}{7} )  -  (\frac{7}{2}x - \frac{4}{7} )   = -4x + \frac{2}{7}

Now, here Consider the left hand side and simplifying the left side by operating on the like terms,

⇒(\frac{-1}{2}x + \frac{6}{7} )  -  (\frac{7}{2}x - \frac{4}{7} )   = \frac{-1}{2}x + \frac{6}{7}   -  \frac{7}{2}x + \frac{4}{7}  =  (\frac{-1}{2}x -\frac{7}{2}x) + (\frac{6}{7}   + \frac{4}{7})

=(\frac{-1 - 7}{2}x ) + (\frac{6 + 4}{7} ) = \frac{-8x}{2} + \frac{10}{7}   \neq -4x + \frac{2}{7}

Here, Left side of equation  ≠ Right side of the equation

Hence, (\frac{-1}{2}x + \frac{6}{7} )  -  (\frac{7}{2}x - \frac{4}{7} )   ≠ -4x + \frac{2}{7}
