Answer: Choice B
(-2, 5)
==================================================
Explanation:
The original system is
Multiply both sides of the second equation by 3. Doing so leads to this updated system of equations
Now add straight down
The x terms add to -4x+3x = -1x = -x
The y terms add to 3y+(-3y) = 0y = 0
The terms on the right hand sides add to 23+(-21) = 2
We end up with the equation -x = 2 which solves to x = -2
Now use this to find y. You can pick any equation with x,y in it
----------------
-4x+3y = 23
-4(-2)+3y = 23
8+3y = 23
3y = 23-8
3y = 15
y = 15/3
y = 5
Or
x-y = -7
-2-y = -7
-y = -7+2
y = -5
y = 5
Either way, we get the same y value.
So that's why the solution is (x,y) = (-2, 5)
Answer:
B. y - 35 = 2(x - 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of the plant, y, after x days could be modeled by the equation
<h3>y-y0=k(x-xo) (1)
,</h3><h3>
where y0 was the initial height at 'x0'th. day, and k is the constant of proportionality.</h3><h3>
From equation (1), k could be evaluated as follows:</h3><h3>
k=(y-y0)/(x-x0) </h3><h3>
From the problem statement, we may determine k by plugging in the given values, e.g. y0= 35, x0=10, y=55, x=20.</h3><h3>
Thus,</h3><h3>
k=(55-35)/(20-10)=2</h3><h3>
Therefore, the model equation becomes</h3><h3>
y-35=2(x-10)</h3><h3>

Answer:
65.75% change
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation for percent change
(|x2-x1| / x1) * 100%
48 million / 73 million * 100% = 65.75% decrease
