Which is a solution to the equation y=5x-6

Mathematics

A "solution" is a pair of numbers that can be written in place of 'x' and 'y' and make the equation a true statement.

For example . . . Is (x=1, y=2) a solution ?
To find out, write '1' in place of 'x', and write '2' in place of 'y'.

y = 5x - 6
2 = 5(1) - 6
<u>2 = 5 - 6</u>
Is that true ?  NO ! ! !
So (x=1, y=2) is NOT a solution to this equation.

But hold onto your seat . . . there ARE an infinite number of solutions.
You can draw a graph of the equation. The graph is a straight line,
and EVERY POINT on the line is a solution to the equation.
(Do you have any idea how many points there are on a line ? ! ?)

Since your question begins with the word "Which...", I know there was a
list of choices along with it, in the book or on the homework or wherever
you copied the question from, and you decided not to share the list.  So
nobody can answer the question, because we don't know which choice
on the list is the correct one.

I'll just give you a few solutions to the equation, out of the infinite number
of them that there are:

Each of these lines is 1 solution:

x= -1, y= -11
x=0, y= -6
x=1, y= -1
x=2, y= 4
x=5, y= 19
x=100, y= 494

ΔABC has coordinates A(8, −4), B(2, 2), and C(0, −6). Write the coordinates of the image after a dilation with a scale factor of
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

formula= (kx,ky)

where k = scale factor

= A((8,-4)

= A= (8×12,-4×12)

<u>A= (96,-48)</u>

B= (2,2)

= (2×12,2×12)

<u>B= (24,24)</u>

C= (0,-6)

= (0×12,-6×12)

<u>C= (0,-72)</u>

Identify a possible first step using the elimination method to solve the system and then find the solution to the system.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:x = 1

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of simultaneous equations is expressed as

3x - 5y = - 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

2x + y = 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

The first step is to decide on which variable to eliminate. Let us eliminate x. Then we would multiply both rows by numbers which would make the coefficients of x to be equal in both rows.

Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes

6x - 10y = - 4

6x + 3y = 9

Subtracting, it becomes

- 13y = - 13

y = - 13/- 13 = 1

The next step is to substitute y = 1 into any of the equations to determine x.

Substituting y = 1 into equation 2, it becomes

2x + 1 = 3

2x = 3 - 1 = 2

x = 2/2 = 1

Solve the inequality.<br> - 6 &lt; 2x - 4 &lt;4
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

-1 < x < 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

- 6 < 2x - 4 <4

2x - 4 < 4

2x < 8

x < 4.    Also we have:

2x - 4 > -6

2x > -2

x > -1.

When a fraction of 12 is taken away from 17, what remain exceed one-third of seventeen by six.
vova2212 [387]
X - the fraction

17- 12x=\frac{1}{3} \times 17+6 \\&#10;17-12x=\frac{17}{3}+6 \\&#10;-12x=\frac{17}{3}+6-17 \\&#10;-12x=\frac{17}{3}-11 \\&#10;-12x=\frac{17}{3}-\frac{33}{3} \\&#10;-12x=-\frac{16}{3} \\&#10;x=-\frac{16}{3} \times (-\frac{1}{12}) \\&#10;x=\frac{16}{36} \\&#10;x=\frac{4}{9}

The fraction is 4/9.

A soccer ball kicked from the ground with an initial velocity of 32 ft/s is given by the function
Greeley [361]

Answer:

In words the answer is between t=0 and t=2.

In interval notation the answer is (0,2)

In inequality notation the answer is 0<t<2

Big note: You should make sure the function I use what you meant.

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope the function is h(t)=-16t^2+32t because that is how I'm going to interpret it.

So if we can find when the ball is on the ground or has hit the ground (this is when h=0) then we can find when it is in the air which is between those 2 numbers.

0=-16t^2+32t

0=-16t(t-2)

So at t=0 and t=2

So the ball is in the air between t=0 and t=2

Interval notation (0,2)

Inequality notation 0<t<2
