3x-2y=-5
3y-4x=8
1) multiply the first equation by 3
3(3x-2y=-5) this will give you the new equation: 9x-6y=-15
2) multiply the second equation by 2
2(3y-4x=8) this should give you the equation: 6y-8x=16
3) combine both equations/ like terms
9x-6y=-15
6y-8x=16
4) -6y and 6y cancel out
9x=-15
-8x=16
5) 9x and -8x combine to make 1x or just x and -15 combined with 16 gives you just 1
6) we are now left with:
x=1
7) plug in the x to any of the two original equations ( i chose the first)
3x-2y=-5
3(1) - 2y = -5
3 - 2y = -5
-2y = -8
y = 4
When you plug in the x=1 you are given 3(1) - 2y = -5
Distribute the 3 and you should have 3 - 2y = -5
Subtract 3 from 3 (this cancels out) then from -5
This should leave you with -2y = -8 ( -3 and -5 add to -8)
Divide by -2 ( -2 divided by -2 cancels out)
-8 divided by -2 gives you 4 (two negatives make a positive)
So, y=4 and x=1
To check, plug in x=1 and y=4 into one equation. when you're done with that you can plug them into the other. when you plug them into the first equation you get -5=-5 which means they worked. when plugged into the second, the result is 8=8 which means x=1 and y=4 worked for both equations.
Answer:
decay
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is in the form
y = a (b)^x
a is the initial value and b is the growth or decay factor
When b < 1 it is decay
When b > 1 it is growth
Since b = .93 it is decay
We can't just give you the answer. If we do, you won't learn anything
So, the age of the aunt is 57 which is 17 years above 40 and the age of west is >>x-14=43 >> 43 which is 17 years below 60
