Answer:
They're all like terms (x)
Answer:
14 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations can be solved for y by substituting for x. The first equation is convenient for writing x in terms of y.
<h3>Solution</h3>
x = 20 -y . . . . . . . subtract y from the first equation
7(20 -y) +5.5y = 119 . . . . . substitute for x in the second equation
140 -1.5y = 119 . . . . . . . . simplify
21 = 1.5y . . . . . . . . . . . add 1.5y -119 to both sides
14 = y . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5
14 pounds of soy nuts should be used in the mixture.

<em>Additional comment</em>
There are many ways to solve a system of two linear equations. The attachments shows a matrix solution using a suitable calculator. It tells us that x=6 and y=14, as we found above.
Answer:
<h2>For c = 5 → two solutions</h2><h2>For c = -10 → no solutions</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
We know

for any real value of <em>a</em>.
|a| = b > 0 - <em>two solutions: </em>a = b or a = -b
|a| = 0 - <em>one solution: a = 0</em>
|a| = b < 0 - <em>no solution</em>
<em />
|x + 6| - 4 = c
for c = 5:
|x + 6| - 4 = 5 <em>add 4 to both sides</em>
|x + 6| = 9 > 0 <em>TWO SOLUTIONS</em>
for c = -10
|x + 6| - 4 = -10 <em>add 4 to both sides</em>
|x + 6| = -6 < 0 <em>NO SOLUTIONS</em>
<em></em>
Calculate the solutions for c = 5:
|x + 6| = 9 ⇔ x + 6 = 9 or x + 6 = -9 <em>subtract 6 from both sides</em>
x = 3 or x = -15
When multiplying numbers, it doesn't matter which number is first or second.
The correct answer is: Commutative Property of Multiplication
Finding y intercept and x intercept is easy:
X intercept will be of the form (x,0) and y intercept will be of the form (0,y)
● If you put x=0 in the equation, you will get y-intercept.
● If you put y=0 in the equation, you will get x-intercept.

Given equation: 2x - 4y = 10
◆ Put x = 0
2×0 - 4y = 10
=> -4y = 10
=> y = 10/(-4)
=> y = -5/2
Thus y intercept is (0, -5/2)
◆Put y = 0
2x - 4×0 = 10
=> 2x = 10
=> x = 10/2
=> x = 5
Thus the x intercept is (5,0)
