Answer:
(x, y) = (-2, -3)
WORK:
2x + 4y = -16 =
-2x + 2y = -2 =
(^ the two’s cancel out) =
6y = -18 =
(^ you need to divide 6 on both sides to get just y) =
6y/6 = -18/6 =
(^ the six’s cancel out) =
y = -3 =
(^ now you have to plug this in to get x) =
2x + 4(-3) = -16 =
2x - 12 = -16 =
(^ you need to add 12 on both sides to get rid of it on the left side to add it to -16 on the right side) =
2x = -4 =
2x/2 = -4/2 =
(^ now you divide 2 on both sides again to get just y, and they will cancel out) =
x = -2 =
THEREFORE YOU GET (-2, -3)
Answer:
32.8 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Amy is driving to Seattle. Suppose that the remaining distance to drive (in miles) is a linear function of her driving time (in minutes). When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of -0.95. See the figure below. Amy has 48 miles remaining after 31 minutes of driving. How many miles will be remaining after 47 minutes of driving?
Answer: The general equation of a line is given as y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept on the y axis. Given that the slope is -0.95, substituting in the general equation :
y = -0.95x + c
Amy has 48 miles remaining after 31 minutes of driving, to find c, we substitute y = 48 and x = 31. Therefore:
48 = -0.95(31) + c
c = 48 + 0.95(31)
c = 48 + 29.45
c = 77.45
The equation of the line is
y = -0.95x + 77.45
After 47 minutes of driving, the miles remaining can be gotten by substituting x = 47 and finding y.
y = -0.95(47) + 77.45
y = -44.65 + 77.45
y = 32.8 miles
The answer is D
you would set up an equation like this
14,250 x .032
this will give you how much the population is decreasing per year. Which is 456 people per year.
You then take 2015 and find the difference between that number and 2025 and do it with all of the other years too.
For example 2025-2015 is 10 years
You then take 10 x 456 to tell you how much the of population you lost in those 10 years. You will then take that number which is 4,560 and do 14,250-4,560 to get 9,650.
Yes, 18 x 2 + 36, therefore the student was correct
Find a common denominator
7/12 + 1/12
= 7/12 + 4/12
=11/12
