Answer:

we will multiply equation x+y=17 by (-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Maria has two equations to solve by elimination method:

4x + 9y = 59 ---- (1)

x +y = 17 ----------(2)

To start with elimination method we will multiply equation (2) by (-9) first,

-9x - 9y = -153  -------(3)

Now we will add equation (1) to equation (3)

4x + 9y = 59

<u>-9x - 9y = -153</u>

-5x  = -94

5x = 94

x = 94/5

By putting x = 94/5 in equation (2)

\frac{94}{5}+ y = 17

y = 17 - \frac{94}{5} = \frac{85-94}{5}

= (\frac{-9}{5})

Answer :  we will multiply equation x+y=17 by (-9)

1x+1y=5 graph and y-intercept form
Stels [109]
If x+y=5, let y = 0 to find the x-intercept:  x=5.  The x-int. is at (5,0).
               Let x = 0 to find the y-int:  y=5.  The y-int is (0,5).

Plot (5,0) and (0,5), and then draw a straight line thru both points.

If x+y=5,  solving for y results in    y = -1x + 5
Comparing this to y = mx + b,      m=-1 and b= 5.  Again, the y-int. is (0,5).

How do you solve the equation k/90-1/9=1/90
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

k = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

k/90 - 1/9 = 1/90

k/90 = 1/90 + 1/9

k/90 = 1 + 10/90

k/90 = 11/90

k = 11/90 / 90

k = 11/90 * 90

k = 11

68.6943 rounded to tbe nearest tenth
lutik1710 [3]

The answer to this is 68.7

The tenths place is the first term right after the decimal point. We see a "6" there. Look the number right after that. There is a "9". Since 9 is greater than 5, we round up the "6" to "7".

Someone Please Help!!! <br> Find the radian measure of an angle of -280 degrees
SCORPION-xisa [38]
<span>Answer: -4.88691778Solution:1.Write down the number of degrees you want to convert to radians   Given Degree = -280° The formula to convert degrees to radian measure is:Radian =  degree x π/180 2. Multiply the number of degrees by π/180. Think of it like multiplying two fractions: the first fraction has the number of degrees in the numerator and "1" in the denominator, and the second fraction has π in the numerator and 180 in the denominator. -280 x π/180 = -280π/1803. Find the largest number that can evenly divide into the numerator and denominator of each fraction and use it to simplify each fraction. The largest number for 280 is 20.-280 x π/180 = -280π/180 ÷ 20/20 = -14π /9 4. Then multiply the numerator by 3.14159 because pi or π  is equivalent to 3.14159, -14x 3.14159= -43.982265. To get the radian measure, we will divide -43.98226 by 9. -43.98226/9= -4.88691778
