Answer:

  -8

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let x and y represent the first and second numbers, respectively, we can write the problem statement as the equations ...

  • 4x +5y = -28
  • 9x +2y = 11

We can multiply the first equation by -9 and add 4 times the second equation to get an equation in y alone:

  -9(4x +5y) +4(9x +2y) = -9(-28) +4(11)

  -37y = 296 . . . . . simplify

  296/-37 = y = -8 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of y

The second number is -8.

Can someone please help

Answer:

x ≥ 1  (how to graph is listed below)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find where we need to plot the line, we first need to solve the inequality for x:

-2x - 3 ≤ -5

(Add three to both sides)

-2x ≤ -2

(Divide both sides by -2, but we can't forget that whenever we multiple or divide by a negative number, the sign flips!)

x ≥ 1

To graph this on the number line, you would put a dot on the 1 and fill it in completely (you fill in the dot for a "___ and equal to" sign.     ex. ≥, ≤)

Then you would make an arrow from the dot to the right on the number line (this is because x must be greater than or equal to 1, so it must be facing in that direction)
