Answer:

A.  -4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y-value in the solution to this system of linear equation, we will follow the steps below:

4x + 5y = −12  ------------------------------------------------------(1)

-2x + 3y = −16 -----------------------------------------------------(2)

Multiply through equation (1)   by  2   and multiply through equation (2) by 4  to make the x coefficient have equal value

8x + 10y = -24 ---------------------------------------------------(3)

-8x + 12y = -64 ---------------------------------------------------(4)

Add equation (1) and equation (2)

22y = -88

Divide both-side of the equation by 22

22y/ 22 = -88/ 22

y =-4

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

4x + 5y = - 12 → (1)

- 2x + 3y = - 16 → (2)

Eliminate the x- term by multiplying (2) by 2 and adding the result to (1)

- 4x + 6y = - 32 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term

11y = - 44 ( divide both sides by 11 )

y = - 4

Assume the rate of inflation is 5​% per year for the next 2 years. What will be the cost of goods 2 years from​ now, adjusted fo
kirza4 [7]
The equation for inflation is
A = P*(1+r)^t
which is an exponential growth equation (if r > 0). If r < 0, then we have deflation.

where...
A = final price after t years
P = initial starting price
r = rate of inflation in decimal form 
t = number of years

In this case, 
A = unknown (we're solving for this)
P = 280 is the starting price
r = 0.05 is the decimal form of 5%
t = 2 years

We will plug these three pieces of info into the formula to get...
A = P*(1+r)^t
A = 280*(1+0.05)^2
A = 280*(1.05)^2
A = 280*(1.1025)
A = 308.70

Answer: 308.70 dollars
