Answer:

The solutions are x = -7, 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solutions, move everything to one side of the equation so the equation is equal to 0. Then factor. Set the factors equal to 0 and solve for x.

$x^2 + x - 30 = 12\\x^2 + x -42=0\\(x+7)(x-6) = 0$

x+7 = 0

x = -7

and

x-6 = 0

x = 6

The solutions are x = -7, 6.

Answer:

A. (-7 -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can eliminate y by multiplying the first equation by 7 and subtracting 6 times the second equation:

7(-3x +6y) -6(5x +7y) = 7(9) -6(-49)

-21x +42y -30x -42y = 63 +294 . . . . eliminate parentheses

-51x = 357 . . . . . . . . collect terms

x = -7 . . . . . . . divide by -51. This matches answer choice A.

Answer:

$x \: is \: not \: a \: solution \: in \to \: 5x + 4 < 19. \\$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\: if \: x = 3 \: then \\ 4x-1=2x +5 \: is \: same \: as \to \: \\ 4(3) - 1 = 2(3) + 5\\ 12 - 1 = 6 + 5 \\ 11 =11 \to \: \\ \boxed{ x \: is \:a \: solution \: here} \\ \\ if \: x = 3 \\ then \to \\ 5x + 4 < 19\: is \: same \:as \to \\ 5(3) + 4 < 19 \\ 15 + 4 < 19 \\ 19 \: is \: equal \: to \: 19 : \\ 19 \: can \: not \: be \: less \: than \: 19 \\ \boxed{ henc e\: x \: is \: not \: a \: solution \: here}$

True or false: two points with the same x-coordinate are always on the same vertical line

Vesna [10]

True, you can even test it out yourself. If the domain (x) is the same then it will be a vertical line. Like if you graphed (1,2) (1,4), (1,6) it will be a vertical line on your graph. I hope this helps!

Samantha needs 4/5 yard of fabric to make costumes for the school play. Write and solve and equation to find how many costumes s

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Samantha needs 4/5 yard of fabric to make costumes for the school play.

Let x represent the number of yards of fabric that she has

Let y represent the total number of costumes that she can make from x yards of fabric.

Since one costume require 4/5 yards of fabric, y costumes will require

x ÷ 4/5 = x×5/4 = 5x/4

The equation will be

y = 5x/4

to find how many costumes she can make with 8 yards of fabric, it becomes

y = (5×8)/4

y = 40/4 = 10
