Temka [501]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 2

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the coefficient of x the same

Multiply the first equation by 29

31x + 29y = 33 becomes

899x + 841y = 957

Multiply the second equation by 31

29x + 31y = 27 becomes

899x + 961y = 837

Subtract the equations

(899x + 841y) - (899x + 961y) = 957 - 837

(899x - 899x) + (841y - 961y) = 120

841y - 961y = 120

-120y = 120

y = 120/-120 = -1

Substitute the value of y into both equations to find the value of x and check its right.

31x + 29y = 33

31x + 29(-1) = 33

31x - 29 = 33

31x = 33 + 29

31x = 62

x = 62/31 = 2

29x + 31y = 27

29x + 31(-1) = 27

29x - 31 = 27

29x = 27 + 31

29x = 58

x = 58/29 = 2

scoray [572]

Answer: Hello daema, let's let x be the goal and c be the collection per day.

x - 45 + c = x + 5 is the answer so now let's talk about how we did that.

So she wants to get to x which is the goal. But right now she has 45 less than what her goal is. So that would look like this x - 45 now she has to get c or the collection per day to get to her goal. So now it looks like this x - 45 + c. Now that c has to be at least x which is her goal, it now will look like this x - 45 + c = x. But we're not done, the question said that now she 5$ over her goal, or x. So we have to add the + 5 onto the end so now it looks like this x - 45 + c = x + 5. To solve the equation "if you have to" it would be x = 50$ per day.

<u>Answer:</u>

Multiply \frac { 3 } { 4 } by 8.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following expression and we are to find its quotient:

\frac { 3 } { 4 } ÷ \frac { 1 } { 8 }

This can also be written as:

\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{8} }

Since the two fractions are being divided so to change this division sign into a multiplication sign, we will take the reciprocal of the fraction in the denominator and multiply 3/4 by 8.

\frac{3}{4} \times 8 = 6

Alborosie

Answer: 11x + y +28 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line, we must first find the slope(m)

Given ; x₁= -3 y₁ = 5 x₂= -2 y₂= -6

slope(m) = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

= -6-5 / -2-(-3)

= -11/(-2+3)

= -11

slope(m) = -11

We can now proceed to find tge equation.

Equation of a straight line is;

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y - 5 = -11 (x --3)

y - 5 = -11 (x +3)

y - 5 = -11x - 33

y + 11x -5 +33 =0

y + 11x -28 =0

11x + y - 28 = 0
