It's best to write the two equations as a vertical column:

8x+14y=4

-6x-7y = -10

Note that if we multiply the 2nd equation by 2, we get -12x - 14y = -20. The reason for wanting this version of the 2nd equation is that its -14y cancels the +14y in the first equation:

-12x - 14y = -20

8x+14y=4

Combine these equations, column by column. We get -4x = -16, which results in x = 4. Now find y by subbing 4 for x in either given equation. If we use the first equation, we get 8(4) + 14y = 4, or 32 + 14y = 4, or 14y = -28. Then y = -2.

The solution to this system of linear equations is thus (4,-2).

Check this result by substitution of these coordinates into -6(4) - 7y = -20:

-24 - 7(-2) = -10. Is this true or not?

-24 + 14 = -10 is true. Thus, (4,-2) is the desired solution.

The exponential function g, whose graph is given below, can be written as g(x)=a*b^x

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

g(x) = $9(\frac{1}{3})^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential function 'g' that can be written as g(x) = a.bˣ

From the graph attached,

Graph of the function passes through two points (0, 9) and (1, 3)

g(0) = a.b⁰

9 = a

Similarly, g(1) = a.b¹

3 = a.b

3 = 9(b)

b = $\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}$

Therefore function will be,

g(x) = $9(\frac{1}{3})^x$

Fill in the y of the bottom equation with the top equation because it gives you what Y equals. To answer the question it would be easier to input the top equation into the bottom one. Once you then get the equation for X go to the equation on top and fill in the x to get the y. X=0 Y=2

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using substitution, and fill in the blanks. Two students in t

melomori [17]

Answer:

The system of equation used to find the Total number of flash cards made are $\left \{ {{5x+5} \atop {6x}} \right.$ .

In 5 minutes, each student will have 30 flash cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of flash cards already made by Tristan = 5

Number of flash card Tristan makes in 1 min = 5

Number of flash card Josh makes in 1 min = 6

We need to find the How long will Josh have same number of flashcards.

Also We need to find how many flashcards will each student have at that point.

Solution:

Let the number of minutes be $'x'$ .

Now we can say that;

Total number of flash cards made by Tristan is equal to Number of flash cards already made by Tristan plus Number of flash card Tristan makes in 1 min multiplied by number of minutes.

framing in equation form we get;

Total number of flash cards made by Tristan = $5+5x$
