Answer:

Option D. (8, – 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 8 ..... (1)

x – y = 12.... (2)

To solve the above equation by elimination method, do the following:

Step 1:

Multiply equation 1 by the coefficient of x in equation 2 i.e 1.

Multiply equation 2 by the coefficient of x in equation 1 i.e 3. This is illustrated below:

1 × Equation 1

1 × (3x + 4y = 8)

3x + 4y = 8 ...... (3)

3 × Equation 2

3 × ( x – y = 12)

3x – 3y = 36......(4)

Step 2:

Subtract equation 3 from equation 4. This is illustrated below:

. 3x – 3y = 36

– (3x + 4y = 8)

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

– 7y = 28

Divide both side by the coefficient of y i.e –7

y = 28/–7

y = – 4

Step 3:

Substitute the value of y into any of the equation to obtain the value of x. In this case, we shall substitute the value of y into equation 2 as shown below:

x – y = 12

y = –4

x – (–4) = 12

x + 4 = 12

x = 12 – 4

x = 8

Therefore, the solution to the equation above is (8, – 4)

Lourenço analyzed prices of laptop
Snezhnost [94]
The price y is a function of x, the speed of the processor.

In function notation this means, y=f(x), where f(x)=<span>101x + 207.85.
</span>
For example to calculate the (approximate) price of a laptop with processor 4 gigahertz, we let x=4, and plug in f. 

That is the price y for x=4 is calculated by y=f(4).

So, since y=f(x)=<span>101x + 207.85, the (expected) price of a laptop with processor speed 2.5 gigahertz is :

y=f(2.5)=101(2.5)+207.85= 460.35 ($)

The first and last terms of a 10-term arithmetic series are listed in the table. What is the sum of the series?
USPshnik [31]
The arithmetic sequence general formula is an = a1 + d *(n-1) where d is the arithmetic difference and n is an integer. In this case, upon derivation, the formula that represents the sum of the series is S = (a1  + an)*(n/2). Substituting, S = (3+75)*(10/2) equal to 390
