Given:
2x - 3y = -6  ⇒ identified as 1st equation
x + 2y = 8    ⇒ identified as 2nd equation

Let us first get the value of x using the 2nd equation.
x + 2y = 8
x = 8 - 2y

Substitute x in the 1st equation with its value and find the value of y.
2x - 3y = -6
2(8-2y) - 3y = -6
16 - 4y -3y = -6
-4y - 3y = -6 -16
-7y = - 22
y = -22/-7
y = 22/7 simplified to 3 1/7

Substitute the value of y in the 2nd equation.
x = 8 - 2y
x = 8 - 2(22/7)
x = 8 - 44/7
x = (8 * 7/7) - 44/7
x = 56/7 - 44/7
x = (56-44)/7
x = 12/7 simplified to 1 5/7

To check:  x = 12/7 and y = 22/7  *we need to use the improper fractions.
2x - 3y = -6
2(12/7) - 3(22/7) = -6
24/7 - 66/7 = -6
(24-66)/7 = -6
-42/7 = -6
-6 = -6

x + 2y = 8
12/7 + 2(22/7) = 8
12/7 + 44/7 = 8
(12+44)/7 = 8
56/7 = 8
8 = 8

How do I write- -3x+9y=-27 in slope intercept form?
Mumz [18]
The slope intercept form is like : y = mx +b that m is slope and b is y-intercept 
so you can say : 9y = 3x - 27 ⇒ 9/9y = 3/9x -27/9 ⇒ y = 1/3x -3 :))
i hope this be helpful 
have a nice day

the sum of Ages of two brother is 18the elder brother is 10 years older than younger brother then what are the ages of those bro
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Age of younger brother is 4 years..

And age if elder brother is 14 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us denote 'x' as the age of smaller brother,

then, the age of younger brother will be x+10 years.

x+x+10 = 18

2x+10 = 18

2x = 18-10

2x = 8

x = 8/2

x = 4

Age of younger brother is 4 years.

Age of elder brother = x + 10

= 4 + 10

= 14 years.

Which sequence is modeled by the graph below?
Ipatiy [6.2K]
First, we inspect what type of sequence is the order of the coordinates:
a2 = 1
a3 = 2
a4 = 4

Getting the difference,
a3 - a2 = 1
a4 - a3 = 2

The differences are not equal; hence, the sequence is not arithmetic.

Getting the ratio:
a3/a2 = 2
a4/a3 = 2

The common ratio is 2. Using the general form for a geometric series:
an = a1 r^(n-1)
If n = 2
1 = a1 (2)^(2-1)
a1 = 1/2

So,
an = (1/2) (2)^(n-1)

The answer is the first option.
