An inequality is also an algebraic equation. However, instead of '=' sign, it uses either of these: <, >, ≤, ≥. To translate: X differs from 2 by more than 3, that would be:

2 - x > 3
We use the '>' equation because the open area should face the larger value. Solving the equation:
-x > 3 - 2
-x > 1
x > -1

Solve the system by finding the determinants and using Cramer's Rule: 2x - y = 4 3x + y = 1

Ahat [919]

Answer:

(1, - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y = 4

3x + y = 1

A = $\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&-1\\3&1\end{array}\right]$ = 2(1) - 3( - 1) =2 + 3 = 5

$A_{x}$ = $\left[\begin{array}{cc}4&-1\\1&1\end{array}\right]$ = 4(1) - 1(- 1) = 4 + 1 = 5

$A_{y}$ = $\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&4\\3&1\end{array}\right]$ = 2(1) - 4(3) = 2 - 12 = - 10

x = $\frac{A_{x} }{A}$ = 1

y = $\frac{A_{y} }{A}$ = - 2

(1, - 2)

No, the probability of getting a 5 is 1/6, but you could roll any number of fives in a row. It is just as likely to get rolled the second time as it was the first.

Please help me I don’t understand this

Lyrx [107]

When you're given a point and the slope of a line, it is often easiest to write its equation in point-slope form.

This is $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ , where $(x_1,y_1)$ is the ordered pair for the point you are given and m is the slope.

Here, you would write $y-8=-3(x-7)$ . Then, you simplify to get to slope-intercept form, which is $y = mx+b$ , where b is the y-intercept.

$y-8=-3(x-7) \\ y=-3x+29$

The correct answer is A.
