For which system of equations is (5, 3) the solution? A. 3x – 2y = 9 3x + 2y = 14 B. x – y = –2 4x – 3y = 11 C. –2x – y = –13 x

Alla [95]

The correct answer is:

D) $\left \{ {{2x-y=7} \atop {2x+7y=31}} \right.$ .

Explanation:

We solve each system to find the correct answer.

For A:
$\left \{ {{3x-2y=9} \atop {3x+2y=14}} \right.$

Since we have the coefficients of both variables the same, we will use elimination to solve this.

Since the coefficients of y are -2 and 2, we can add the equations to solve, since -2+2=0 and cancels the y variable:
$\left \{ {{3x-2y=9} \atop {+(3x+2y=14)}} \right. 
\\
\\6x=23$

Next we divide both sides by 6:
6x/6 = 23/6
x = 23/6

This is not the x-coordinate of the answer we are looking for, so A is not correct.

For B:
$\left \{ {{x-y=-2} \atop {4x-3y=11}} \right.$

For this equation, it will be easier to isolate a variable and use substitution, since the coefficient of both x and y in the first equation is 1:
x-y=-2

Add y to both sides:
x-y+y=-2+y
x=-2+y

We now substitute this in place of x in the second equation:
4x-3y=11
4(-2+y)-3y=11

Using the distributive property, we have:
4(-2)+4(y)-3y=11
-8+4y-3y=11

Combining like terms, we have:
-8+y=11

Add 8 to each side:
-8+y+8=11+8
y=19

This is not the y-coordinate of the answer we're looking for, so B is not correct.

For C:
Since the coefficient of x in the second equation is 1, we will use substitution again.

x+2y=-11

To isolate x, subtract 2y from each side:
x+2y-2y=-11-2y
x=-11-2y

Now substitute this in place of x in the first equation:
-2x-y=-13
-2(-11-2y)-y=-13

Using the distributive property, we have:
-2(-11)-2(-2y)-y=-13
22+4y-y=-13

Combining like terms:
22+3y=-13

Subtract 22 from each side:
22+3y-22=-13-22
3y=-35

Divide both sides by 3:
3y/3 = -35/3
y = -35/3

This is not the y-coordinate of the answer we're looking for, so C is not correct.

For D:
Since the coefficients of x are the same in each equation, we will use elimination. We have 2x in each equation; to eliminate this, we will subtract, since 2x-2x=0:

$\left \{ {{2x-y=7} \atop {-(2x+7y=31)}} \right. 
\\
\\-8y=-24$

Divide both sides by -8:
-8y/-8 = -24/-8
y=3

The y-coordinate is correct; next we check the x-coordinate Substitute the value for y into the first equation:
2x-y=7
2x-3=7

Add 3 to each side:
2x-3+3=7+3
2x=10

Divide each side by 2:
2x/2=10/2
x=5

This gives us the x- and y-coordinate we need, so D is the correct answer.

Clare made $160 babysitting last summer. She put the money in a savings account that pays 3% interest per year. If clare doesn't

AVprozaik [17]

We have been given that Clare made $160 babysitting last summer. She put the money in a savings account that pays 3% interest per year. If Clare doesn't touch the money in her account, she can find the amount she'll have the next year by multiplying her current amount 1.03.

We are asked to write an expression for the amount of money Clare would have after 30 years if she never withdraws money from her account.

We will use exponential growth function to solve our given problem.

An exponential growth function is in form $y=a(1+r)^x$ , where

y = Final value,

a = Initial value,

r = Growth rate in decimal form,

x = Time.

$3\%=\frac{3}{100}=0.03$

We can see that initial value is $160. Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:

$y=160(1+0.03)^x$

$y=160(1.03)^x$

To find amount of money in Clare's account after 30 years, we need to substitute $x=30$ in our equation.

$y=160(1.03)^{30}$

Therefore, the expression $160(1.03)^{30}$ represents the amount of money that Clare would have after 30 years.

Find the midpoint of each side of the trapezoid. Connect the midpoints. What is the most precise classification of the quadrilat

alex41 [277]

The midpoints of the sides of the trapezoid are:
M ( - 1 , 1 ), N ( 1, - 1 ), P ( 3, 1 ), Q ( 1, 3 ).
MN = NP = PQ = QM = √ ( 2² + 2² ) = √ 8 = 2√2
∠MNP = ∠NPQ = ∠PQM = ∠QMN = 90°
Answer:
The quadrilateral formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of the trapezoid is a square.
