Solve the following system using elimination:
{15 y - 14 x = 15 | (equation 1)
{21 x - 20 y = -10 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{21 x - 20 y = -10 | (equation 1)
{-(14 x) + 15 y = 15 | (equation 2)

Add 2/3 × (equation 1) to equation 2:
{21 x - 20 y = -10 | (equation 1)
{0 x+(5 y)/3 = 25/3 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 3/5:
{21 x - 20 y = -10 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)

Add 20 × (equation 2) to equation 1:
{21 x+0 y = 90 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 21:
{x+0 y = 30/7 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer:  {x = 30/7, y = 5

Is each line parallel, perpendicular, or neither parallel nor perpendicular to a line whose slope is −6?
ikadub [295]
Line M with slope 6 is neither, line n with slope -6 is parallel because only lines with same slope are parallel, line p with slope 1/6 is neither. and line q with slope -1/6 is perpendicular because only the reciprocal of a slope is perpendicular, so reciprocal of 6= 1/6 reciprocal of -6=-1/6 reciprocal of 2= 1/2

The area of a rectangle invitation card is 3/10 square foot. Given that the length of the card is 4/5 foot, find its perimeter.
Leokris [45]
Area is length times width [A=(L)(W)], if we know that the area of the card is 3/10 and the length is 4/5 we can set up the equation 3/10=(4/5)(W) where W is width. Solve for W by deciding both sides by 4/5 and we get that W=3/8. To find the perimeter of the card were have to add up all the sides of the card so 3/8+3/8+4/5+4/5 which equals 47/20
