Answer:

  x less 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

"x -16.5" means 16.5 is subtracted from x. The resulting value is 16.5 less than x. The wording "x less 16.5" basically means "x minus 16.5" and/or "x reduced by 16.5".

__

Subtraction is not commutative, so "16.5 decreased (or reduced) by x", meaning "16.5 -x" or "16.5 minus x", is not the same thing.

Solve the following system of equations using elimination (Do not multipy)
aivan3 [116]
1) 5x - 6y = -32 --> equation 1
    3x + 6y = 48  --> equation 2
eliminating y from both of the equations and adding the rest of the terms
we get,
    8x = 16
    dividing 8 on both sides
    x = 2
Substituting the value of x in equation 1
   5(2) - 6y = -32
    10 - 6y = -32
   -6y = -12 ( dividing both sides by -6)
    y = 2

2) 
-3x - 3y = 9 ---> equation 1
      3x - 4y = 5 --> equation 2
eliminating x from both equations and adding the rest of the terms
 we get,
     -7y = 14 ( dividing both sides by -7 )
      y = -2
Substituting the value of y in the equation 1
    -3x - 3(-2) =9
    -3x + 6 = 9 (subtracting both sides by -6)
     -3x = 3
     x = -1

Hope this helps you..  :)

The temperature at 6:00 A.M. 58 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature increased at a constant rate of 3 degrees Fahrenheit every h
Tasya [4]

Answer: c. (t:58\leq t\leq 70)

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

T =  58 degree Celsius.

changes in temperature = 3dregres every hour = 4.

solution:

t=58+3h\\where h = 4

substitute the value for h into the equation.

t=58+3(4)\\t=58+12\\t=70

the set with 58\leq t\leq 70  best represents the function range.
