Hi there!
In order to solve, you can use substitution. This means that you use one equation and solve for one variable, then use that one equation and plug it into the other equation. Here's how we'd do it:
WORK:
x = 12 - y (since x is already solved for, we'll use that to plug into the other given equation.
2(12 - y) + 3y = 29 (using substitution)
24 - 2y + 3y = 29
24 + y = 29
y = 5
Plug the value of y back into the first equation
x = 12 - 5
x = 7
ANSWER:
A - x = 7, y = 5
It seems as though you're having some trouble with these questions, PLEASE MESSAGE ME!! I'd be more than happy to help you work through as many problems as you need until you get the hang of it (plus, it doesn't cost you any points!)
Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 1/2x - 1/3
This is written in the form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
The slope is 1/2 and the y intercept is -1/3
Answer:
B) 
Step-by-step explanation:
First simplify the radical on the right.
is equal to 
, because 25 * 3 is 75, so we can separate the square roots into the product of these two square roots.
Then we know 
is just equal to 25, which means the simplified version of is 
.
Then we can use this new representation to finish solving.
, so the answer would be B
x + 7 = 2(3x - 4) Remove the brackets
x + 7 = 2*3x - 4*2
x + 7 = 6x - 8 Subtract 7 from both sides.
x + 7 - 7 = 6x - 8 - 7
x = 6x - 15 Subtract 6x from both sides
x - 6x = - 15
-5x = - 15 Divide by -5
-5x/-5 = -15/-5
x = 3
Answer:
Positive.
Step-by-step explanation:
When you see two negative signs directly next to each other (as shown in the given expression), it will become a positive sign:
7 - (-4) = 7 + 4 = 11
Positive is your answer.
* To be fair, even if there is only one negative sign, the answer will still be positive, however, I am assuming you are suggesting only the sign, and not the answer.
