Answer:

x = 0

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

12x - 5y = -20

y = x + 4

Substitute x + 4 for y in the first equation

12x - 5(x + 4) = -20

Expand the bracket

12x -5 X x - 5 x 4 = -20

12x - 5x - 20 = -20

7x - 20 = -20

Add 20 to both sides to eliminate -20 on the left side

7x - 20 + 20 = -20 + 20

7x = 0

Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x

7x/7 = 0/7

x = 0

Substitute 0 for x in either equation to get y

Using equation 2, we have

y = x + 4

= 0 + 4

= 4

x = 0

y = 4

Is the set of integers closed under division? Explain why or why not.

MrMuchimi

The set of integers is not closed under the operation of division because when an integer is divided by another, the results are not limited to only integers i.e. zero and decimals are possibilities

<h3>How to determine the true statement?</h3>

Integers are numbers without decimal points

When integers are divided, the possible results are:

Zero
Decimal
Integers

The decimal and the zero possibilities imply that the set of integers is not closed under the operation of division

This is so because when an integer is divided by another, the results are not limited to only integers i.e. zero and decimals are possibilities
