ExtremeBDS [4]3 years ago

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)

Answer:

Mia is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see this if you write 5/11 in a calculator, you get 0.454545454545 infinitely. In other cases, you would write it like Malik said if the answer were to be 0.455555555, but it isn't.

Which ordered pair is a solution to the inequality 3x - 4y < 16 ?
fgiga [73]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given 3x-4y<16 and we want to see which of the ordered pairs is a solution.

These ordered pairs are assumed to be in the form (x,y).

A. (0,-4) ?

3x-4y<16 with (x=0,y=-4)

3(0)-4(-4)<16

0+16<16

16<16 is not true so (0,-4) is not a solution of the given inequality.

B. (4,-1)?

3x-4y<16 with (x=4,y=-1)

3(4)-4(-1)<16

12+4<16

16<16 is not true so (4,-1) is not a solution of the given inequality.

C. (-3,-3)?

3x-4y<16 with (x=-3,y=-3)

3(-3)-4(-3)<16

-9+12<16

   3<16 is true so (-3,-3) is a solution to the given inequality.

D. (2,-3)?

3x-4y<16 with (x=2,y=-3)

3(2)-4(-3)<16

6+12<16

18<16 is false so (2,-3) is not a solution to the given inequality.
