Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two steps are for the purpose of eliminating fractions. Doing so results in 4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 2), which is to be solved for x.

Perform the indicated multiplication, obtaining:

8x - 20 = 9x - 18.

Then combine like terms: -2 = x, or

x = -2.

To complete the formal check, substitute -2 for x in the first equation. This results in:

(1/3)(-4 - 5) = (3/4)(-2 -2), or

-3 = -3

... which is obviously true.

Answer:

yes, yes, no, no

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is linear if no term has a variable with an exponent other than 0 or 1. There can be no products of variables.

The equations with terms x³ or x² will not be linear.

(a, b) linear (yes)

(c, d) not linear (no)

Solution set is: ( $7,\frac{13}{3}$ )

Option B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the solution to system of equations

$y=\frac{1}{3}x+2\\y=\frac{4}{3}x-5$

Let:

$y=\frac{1}{3}x+2\,\,\,eq(1)\\y=\frac{4}{3}x-5\,\,\,eq(2)$

Putting value of y from eq(2) into eq(1)

$\frac{4}{3}x-5=\frac{1}{3}x+2\\Combining\,\,like\,\,terms:\\\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}x=2+5\\Taking\,\,LCM\\\frac{4x-1x}{3}=7\\\frac{3x}{3}=7\\x=7$

So, value of x=7

Putting value of x into equation 1 to find the value of y:

$y=\frac{1}{3}x+2\\y=\frac{1}{3}(7)+2\\y=\frac{7}{3}+2\\Taking\,\,LCM\\y=\frac{7+2*3}{3}\\y=\frac{7+6}{3}\\y=\frac{13}{3}$

So, value of y = $\frac{13}{3}$

Solution set is: ( $7,\frac{13}{3}$ )

Option B is correct
