Answer:

Option D is right,.

Step-by-step explanation:

-a+4b+2c=-8 ... i

3a+b-4c=9 ... ii

b=-1 ... iii

Substitute the value of b, in i and ii

-a-4+2c =-8 or -a+2c = -4

and 3a-1-4c = 9 or 3a -4c =8

Now we have two equations in two variables

-a+2c =-4 and 3a-4c =8

a = 2c+4: substitute this in the other equatin.

3(2c+4)-4c =8 Or 2c +12 =8

2c =-4 or c = -2

Substitute in -a+2c =12

-a-2 = -4

a = -2+4 =2

a=2, b=-1 and c =-1 is the solution.

Nicole bought six pounds of apples at $1.50 per pound. The store had a discount of $2 off her total purchase. Nicole and her fri

Andru [333]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of apples that Nicole bought was 6 pounds.

Each pound of apple cost $1.50

This means that the total cost of the 6 pounds of apple that Nicole bought would be

6 × 1.5 = $9

The store had a discount of $2 off her total purchase. This means that the amount that was paid is

9 - 2 = $7

If Nicole and her friend then divided the cost of the purchase evenly, let x represent the amount that each of them would pay. Therefore, the expression that can be used to determine how much Nicole and her friend each paid for the apples would be

x = 7/2

How do you solve -2(x+5)=4

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2(x+5)=4\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-2)}\\\\\dfrac{-2\!\!\!\!\diagup(x+5)}{-2\!\!\!\!\diagup}=\dfrac{4\!\!\!\!\diagup^2}{-2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\\\\x+5=-2\qquad\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\\\x+5-5=-2-5\\\\x=-7$
