Answer:

Option B is correct.

(5, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

$4x+y = 16$ ......[1]

$2x+3y = -2$ .....[2]

Multiply equation [2] by 2 both sides we have;

$4x+6y = -4$ .....[3]

Subtract equation [3] from [1] we have;

$4x+y-4x-6y= 16+4$

Combine like terms;

$-5y = 20$

Divide both sides by -5 we have;

y = -4

Substitute this value y in [1] we have;

4x+(-4) = 16

⇒4x - 4 = 16

Add 4 to both sides we have;

4x = 20

Divide both sides by 4 we have;

x = 5

therefore, the solutions of the given systems is, (5, -4).

Algebraic models grade 12 math college please write the answers without explaining thank you.

Zinaida [17]

From the problem :

$6^4\times6^{-5}$

In multiplying expressions with the same bases, the exponent will be added accordingly.

For example :

$a^m\times a^n=a^{m+n}$

the exponent of a are m and n, and the product will be a raised to the sum of m and n.

Applying this to the problem, we have :

$6^4\times6^{-5}=6^{4-5}=6^{-1}$

The answer is d. 6^-1

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (1, –5) and (4, 1)?

xxMikexx [17]

You are given two points that could be plotted on a graph (1,-5) and (4,1). The formula for slope is y2-y1/x2 -x1

When plotted into the points it would look like 1-(-5)/4-1= 6/3

6/3=2. So, the slope for these two points is 2.

Hans wanted to find the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. Which statement correctly identifies his error?

KonstantinChe [14]

Choice 1. He did not square 40, he just multiplied by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

The hypotenuse measures c cm while the other sides are 40 cm and 9 cm each.

Step 2:

According to the Pythagorean theorem,

$9^{2} +40^{2} = c^{2}.$

$81 + 1600 = c^{2} .$

$1681 = c^{2} .$

$\sqrt{1681} = c.$

This is the correct solution to the given problem. Hans did not square 40, he just multiplied by 2. Which is the first option.

The selling price of a refrigerator, is $ 796.40 . If the markup is 10 % of the dealer's cost, what is the dealer's cost of

8_murik_8 [283]

The final price (what it is selling for) is $796.40

The markup is 10% of the original price (the dealer's cost) , meaning that it is 10% more.

We need to find the original price.

We write this as an equation

The original price *110% = final price

This is because the original price is itself (100%) added with 10%

Plug in the known final price

Original Price * 110% = 796.40

Convert 110% to a decimal because the other numbers- such as the final price are also decimal numbers.

Convert 110% to a decimal by moving the decimal point up 2 spaces ( basically dividing it by 100)

110% = 1.1

So it is now

Original price *1.1 = 796.40

Divide both sides by 1.1 to isolate our unknown, the original price

Original price = $724
