Answer:

use the combination method

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 2y = -13

+ 5 x + 2y = -17

since 2y is in both equations you cancel them out.

5x + x = 6x

-2y + 2y = 0

-13 + (-17) = -30

put it back into the equation

6x + 0 = -30 or 6x = -30

6x ÷ 6 = x

-30 ÷ 6 = -5

x = -5

then plug into the equation x - 2y = -13 and 5x + 2y = -17

-5 - 2y = -13

-13 + 5 = -8

-2y = -8

y = 4

x = -5 and y = 4

Which table has a constant of proportionality between yyy and xxx of 101010?

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Only table C shows proportional relationship

Step by Step Explanation:

Given

Tables A, B an C

Required

Which table shows proportional relationship?

In table A .

x = 2 and y = 20

k = 20/2

k = 10

Also, x = 12, y = 132

k =. 132/12.

k = 11

Both values of k are not equal.

Hence, the table is not proportional

In table B

x = 5 and y = 20

k = 20/5

k = 4

Also, x = 7, y = 30

k =. 30/7

k = 4.29

Both values of k are not equal.

Hence, the table is not proportional

In table C

x = 9 and y = 90

k = 90/9

k = 10

Also, x = 14, y = 140

k =. 140/14

k = 10

Also, x = 24, y = 240

k =. 240/24

k = 10

All values of k are equal.

Hence, the table is proportional

What is the product of −3 1/4 and −1 1/2? Enter your answer as a mixed number, in simplified form, in the box.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

The product of −3 1/4 and −1 1/2 as a mixed number is $4\frac{7}{8}$ .

The product of −3 1/4 and −1 1/2 as a simplified form is $\frac{39}{8}$

<h3>What is products and mixed numbers?</h3>

Thew products between two terms can be described as the multiplication operation of the the two terms to give a term which is been performed by the use of the operation sign (*) between the two terms.

The mixed number can be defined as the numbers that contains whole numbers as well as the denominators and numerator.

It should be noted that the product of −3 1/4 and −1 1/2 can be done as ( $-3\frac{1}{4} * -1\frac{1}{2} = -\frac{13}{4} * \frac{-3}{2} = \frac{39}{8} = 4\frac{7}{8}$
