When solving a system of equations, Jared found y = x + 10 for one equation and substituted x + 10 for y in the other equation.

Nicole found x = y – 10 for the same equation and substituted y – 10 for x in the other equation. Who is correct? Explain.

Answer:

Both Jared and Nicole are correct. You can solve for either variable and use the equivalent expression to create a one-variable equation. Then you can solve. Jared would have created a one-variable equation that can be used to solve for x, whereas Nicole would have created a one-variable equation that can be used to solve for y

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the sample answer that Ingenuity has offered.

Both are correct they just chose a different variable to solve for first. they will both get correct answers if they do the rest correctly.

Noah and Maggie are making a rectangular picture frame.They want the length of the frame to be three inches longer than the widt
zalisa [80]

Answer:

9 inches by 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's say <em>L</em>=length and <em>W</em>=width.

Since the problem states that the length should be 3 inches longer than the width, <em>L</em><em>=</em><em> </em>W+3

And the formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is 2L+2W

so plug in W+3 for L and you get 2(W+3)+2W

Then distribute

2W+6+2W

Combine like-terms

4W+6

And the problem states the perimeter is 42 inches so,

4W+6=42

Subtract 6 to both sides

4W=36

Divide by 4 to both sides

W=9

So the width is 9

And to get the length, plug in 9 for W in L=W+3

L=9+3

L=12

So the length is 12

PLEASE HELP BRAINLIEST GIVEN TO CORRECT ANSWER

The solution to a system of (linear) equations is the point where the graphs intersect. Consider two parallel lines. By definition, two parallel lines never intersect each other, but all pairs of non-parallel lines will eventually intersect. That means they will also have a solution.

Let's consider what makes a line parallel to another line. It basically looks identical, having the same steepness (slope), but the graph is just shifted over. That is, a parallel line would have the same slope and a different y-intercept. For our equation 2y-4x=12, or y=2x+6 in slope-intercept form, a parallel line will be of the form y=2x+b.

That describes the form of a parallel line, which we do not want. Any other line, however, will give a solution to our system, so we merely want a line where the slope does not equal 2.

We can have any equation of the form y=mx+b, \ x \neq 2.
