2x+3y= -17
5x+2y= -4
You must cancel either the x or y out to solve so i'm going to cancel the x.
-5(2x+3y= -17)
2(5x+2y= -4)
This simplifies to:
-15x -15y=85
15x+4y= -8
The -15x and 15x cancel out leaving you:
-15y=85
4y= -8
You add them top numbers by the bottom and get:
-11y=77
Then divide by -11 to get y by its self.
y= -7
Now that you know what y is just plug it in to either original problem. I will use the second one.
5x + 2(-7) = -4
5x -14 = -4
5x = 10
x = 2
So the answer is (2,-7) or x=2 and y=-7
Answer: 12 red balls must be added
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting out with 15 balls, 6 red implies 9 blue. If blue remains 9, then we expect red to be 18 for a probability at 2/3. 18-6 = 12
An exponential function is a mathematical function of the following form: f ( x ) = a x. where x is a variable, and a is a constant called the base of the function.
The better buy would be the 36 bottles of water for 4$ because it would be 9 bottles per dollar other than the 24 which is 8 bottles per every dollar. Hope it helps!
