Answer:
5a + (-6a) + (-2b) + 2b + (-3) = -a -3 or -(a + 3) so first answer is correct because -(a + 3) is the same as -(3 + a)
Step-by-step explanation:
Five kittens will give Denny $75.
Raising them cost $50.
So Denny will make a profit of $15.
The gradient formula is:
m = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1
> m = 5 - 1 /-2 -3
>> m = 4/-5x
2x + 5y = 34
x+2y = 14
Multiply the second equation by two to create like terms for one variable.
2(x+2y = 14)
2x + 4y = 28
2x + 5y = 34
2x + 4y = 28 -- Subtract.
y = 34.28 = 6
Solve for x
x + 2(6) = 14
x + 12 = 14
x = 2
Check:
2 + 2(6) = 14
2 + 12 = 14
14 = 14
Answer:
X = 2
Y = 6
