1.  Lisa is working with the system of equations x + 2y = 7 and 2x ‒ 5y = 5. She multiplies the first equation by 2 and then sub

tracts the second equation to find 9y = 9, telling her that y = 1. Lisa then finds that x = 5. Thinking about this procedure, Lisa wonders:
There are lots of ways I could go about solving this problem. I could add 5 times the first equation and twice the second or I could multiply the first equation by ‒2 and add the second. I seem to find that there is only one solution to the two equations but I wonder if I will get the same solution if I use a different method?

What is the answer to Lisa’s question? Explain.

2.  Does the answer to the first question change if we have a system of two equations in two unknowns with no solutions? What if there are infinitely many solutions?

Answer:

1. Yes

2. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Lets test Lisa's different solution. Lets times 5 to the first equation:

5\cdot{x}+10\cdot{y}=35

and 2 times the second equation:

4\cdot{x}-10\cdot{y}=10

lets add the two equations:

9\cdot{x}=45

x=5

The second method is multiplying the first equation by -2:

-2\cdot{x}-4\cdot{y}=-14

and add the second equation:

-9\cdot{y}=-9

y=1[tex]Substitute into equation 1:[tex]x+2\cdot{1}=7

x=5

The answer to Lisa's question is yes she wull get the same solution if she uses a different method.

2. Yes, The answer would change if the same amout of x and y values are the same and therefore we cannot solve for x and y. If there was infinitely many solutions we would have quadratic equations.

All methods are supposed to be correct in most if not all situations and it should not matter if you use a different method given the options

Which equation represents the function graphed on the coordinate plane?????
Y_Kistochka [10]

Since you haven't provided the graph, I'll explain each one and you choose the one suiting your given.

<u>The parent modulus function is:</u>

g(x) = |x|

It is centered at the origin and opens upwards.

A coefficient inside the modulus |x+k| means that the function is shifted along the x-axis

If "k" is <u>positive</u>, the shift will be to the <u>left</u>. If "k" is <u>negative</u>, the shift will be to the <u>right</u>.

A coefficient outside the modulus |x| + h means that the function is shifted along the y-axis

If "h" is <u>positive</u>, the shift will be <u>upwards</u>. If "h" is <u>negative,</u> the shift will be <u>downwards</u>.

<u>Now, let's check each of the options:</u>

<u>g(x) = |x+4| - 2 :</u>

This function is shifted 4 units to the left and 2 units down. It will be centered at (-4,-2). Check the blue graph in the attachment.

<u>g(x) = |x-4| - 2 :</u>

This function is shifted 4 units to the right and 2 units down. It will be centered at (4,-2). Check the black graph in the attachment.

<u>g(x) = |x-2| - 4 :</u>

This function is shifted 2 units to the right and 4 units down. It will be centered at (2,-4). Check the red graph in the attachment.

<u>g(x) = |x-2| + 4 :</u>

This function is shifted 2 units to the right and 4 units up. It will be centered at (2,4). Check the green graph in the attachment.

All 4 graphs are shown in the attached picture.

Hope this helps :)

A game increased in price by 1/2 . After the increase it was priced at £27. What was the original price of the game? (Hegarty Ma
lukranit [14]

Answer:

£18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = original price of the game

Increase in price = 1/2

New price = £27

x + 1/2x = £27

2x+x/2 = 27

3/2x = 27

x = 27 ÷ 3/2

= 27 × 2/3

= 54 / 3

x = £18

Therefore, the original price of the game is £18
