The simultaneous equations are
2x - 7y = 4         (1)
3x + y = -17       (2)

Write (2) as
y = - 3x - 17       (3)

Substitute (3) into (1).
2x - 7(-3x - 17) = 4
2x + 21x + 119 = 4
23x = -115
x = -5
This is the equation obtained after substituting y from the second equation into the first equation.
The solution for y is
y = -3(-5) - 17 = -2

Answer: x = -5

Note: The solution is x = -5,  y = -2.

Choose the correct simplification of (9xy^5)^2.
Grace [21]

Answer:

D) 81x²y¹⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

(9xy⁵)²

Because all of 9xy⁵ are in the parentheses, each component is raised to the 2nd degree.

(9)² = 81

(x)² = x²

(y⁵)² = y¹⁰ -- When you raise an exponent to another exponent, you multiply the exponents.

Now combine the components.

D) 81x²y¹⁰

Graph a line that contains the point (-5,-3) and has a slope of -2
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

-->

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph (-5,-3) and use the slope, -2, to find another point. -2 can also be written as -\frac{2}{1}

\frac{rise}{run} =\frac{-2}{1} and  \frac{rise}{run} =\frac{2}{-1} **

Use both. This works because either way, they will lie on the same line with the same slope. So, starting at (-5,-3), go down two points (-)* and to the left 1 (+)*, then, starting at (-5,-3) again, go up two points (+)* then to the right 1 point (-)*.

* If the number is negative, you either go down or to the right. If the number is positive, you go up and to the left.

**Rise over run refers to the change in the y-axis and the change in the x-axis: \frac{rise}{run} =\frac{y-axis}{x-axis}. Only one number is negative because, if both were negative, that would make a positive number, but the slope is -2, not 2.

Another way you could do this is by finding points first. All you need to do is turn the slope into a "point". Remember, 2 is the y and 1 is the x:

-2=-\frac{2}{1} = (1,-2) and (-1,2)

Then, using (-5,-3) and your new points, add them separately:

(-5,-3)+(1,-2)\\(-5+1,-3+(-2))\\(-5+1,-3-2)\\(-4,-5)

(-4,-5) is one point

(-5,-3)+(-1,2)\\(-5+(-1),-3+2)\\(-5-1,-3+2)\\(-6,-1)

(-6,-1) is another point. Connect the three points. You can check your work on the graph:

Please help would be appreciated
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The total volume of the whole figure is 576m³.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the volume for the first figure.

Volume of a Rectangular Prism (formula): L•W•H

V = (15m)(12m)(2m)

V = 360m³

Now, find the volume for the second figure.

V = (6m)(12m)(3m)

V = 216m³

Finally, just add both volumes to find the total volume of the entire figure.

Vt = 216m³ + 360m³

Vt = 576m³
