Answer:

x = 4 , y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{2 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 1)

y = x - 1 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{2 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 1)

-x + y = -1 | (equation 2)

Add 1/2 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{2 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x - y/2 = (-3)/2 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by -2:

{2 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Add 3 × (equation 2) to equation 1:

{2 x+0 y = 8 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 2:

{x+0 y = 4 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 4 , y = 3

Which equation represents the line that passes through (–6, 7) and (–3, 6)? y = –y equals negative StartFraction one-third EndFr
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{3} x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the answers they give you to choose from are all lines in slope y-intercept form, it would be very simple to just find the answer finding yourself the slope and y-intercept of the line in question.

Since they give you two points (x_1,y_1) and  (x_2,y_2) for the line, use them to find the slope of the line that goes through them, with the formula:  slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{7-6}{-6-(-3)} =\frac{1}{-3} =-\frac{1}{3}

Therefore, the slope of the line must be -\frac{1}{3}

Now, find the y-intercept (b) using the general form of a line with the given slope:

y=-\frac{1}{3}x +b

Use one of the given coordinate points to request that the line passes through it. For example, through the point (-3,6) (when x = -3, y must be 6):

y=-\frac{1}{3} x+b\\6=-\frac{1}{3}(-3)+b\\6=1+b\\b=6-1=5

then the y-intercept must be 5. Therefore our line is : y=-\frac{1}{3}x +5 which appears listed as your second choice.

John is building a rectangular pen for his sheep. The length of the pen is 5 more than 8 times the width of the pen.
Inga [223]

Answer:

Area = w x (5+ 8 w)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle:   Area=with x length

You are suggested to use "w" to represent the width of the pen.

Now, they give you information about the length of the pen in word form.

We are converting those words into an algebraic expression:

"The length of the pen is 5 more than 8 times the width of the pen"

Length = 5 + 8  w

So we replace the length of the pen with this expression in the area formula:

Area = w x (5+ 8 w)
