Answer:

x = 29

y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Write 2 equations:

x + y = 42

x - y = 16

Isolate x in the first equation:

x = 42 - y

Substitute this in for x in the second equation:

42 - y - y = 16

42 - 2y = 16

solve for y:

-2y = -26

y = 13

Plug in 13 for y in either equation:

x + 13 = 42

Solve for x:

x = 29

Please answer my question, and if you can please provide an explanation so I can learn from it. 50 POINTS.

Answer: -4x - y = -50 (second option)

Step-by-step explanation: The only way lines won't intersect is if they're parallel. Parallel lines have the same slope --> the line must have a slope of -4x.

Option 1:

  • y = 4x - 200 (add 4x to both sides)
  • <em>Different slope.</em>

Option 2:

  • -y = 4x - 50 (add 4x to both sides)
  • y = -4x + 50 (divide by -1)
  • <em>Same slope.</em>

Option 3:

  • -y = -4x - 200 (subtract 4x from both sides)
  • y = 4x + 200 (divide by -1)
  • <em>Different slope.</em>

Option 4:

  • -y = -4x - 50 (subtract 4x from both sides)
  • y = 4x + 50 (divide by -1)
  • <em>Different slope.</em>

The difference between a number b and 7.4 is -6.8
Lera25 [3.4K]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

b = 0.6


Discussion:

The question can be written as

b - 7.4 = -6.8  =>           (now add 7.4 to each side)

b - 7.4 + 7.4 = -6.8 + 7.4 =>       ( note: -7.4 + 7.4 = 0)

b = 0.6

Thank you,

MrB
