Answer:
x = -1 and y = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let u = 1/x, and v = 1/y
Then the pair of equations
-3/x + 4/y = 11
1/x - 2/y = -5
Can be written as
-3u + 4v = 11 .................................(1)
u - 2v = -5......................................(2)
From (2)
u = 2v - 5 .......................................(3)
Substituting (3) into (1)
-3(2v - 5) + 4v = 11
-6v + 15 + 4v = 11
-6v + 4v = 11 - 15
-2v = -4
v = 4/2 = 2
Substituting this value of v in (3)
u = 2v - 5
u = 2(2) - 5
= 4 - 5
= -1
That is
u = -1, v = 2
Since u = 1/x, and v = 1/y, we have
1/x = -1
=> x = -1
And
1/y = 2
=> y = 1/2
Therefore
x = -1 and y = 1/2
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Use the Pythagorean Theorem</u>
The equation for the Pythagorean Theorem is 
* a and b are the lengths of the legs, and c is the hypotenuse.*
(To know which side is the hypotenuse look at longest side which is across the right angle).
a= x, b=8, c=9

Let's Plug in the side lengths:

Evaluate 8^2 and 9^2:

Subtract 64 from both sides:


Take the square root of both sides:

Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>
I will use the elimination method.</h3>
We want to make the X's the same:


Because the signs of the X's are the same we subtract the 2 equations to make:
(I put the second one on top of the 1st)

So:

Substitute y into either equation 1 or 2:
(I chose equation 1)



So:

Answer:
I would have to guess c because it show a decrease in the number line
