The solution is (-4,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

4x-9y = 20\ \ \ \ Eqn1\\2x-6x = 16\ \ \ \ Eqn2

In linear combination method, we have to make coefficients of any one variable opposites by multiplying with an integer

So multiplying 2nd equation by -2

-2(2x-6y=16)\\-4x+6y=-32\ \ \ \ Eqn3

Adding Equation 1 and Equation 3:

4x-9y-4x+12y = 20-32\\3y = -12

Dividing both sides by 3

\frac{3y}{3} = \frac{-12}{3}\\y = -4

Putting y=-4 in equation 1

4x-9(-4) = 20\\4x +36= 20\\4x = 20-36\\4x = -16

Dividing both sides by 4

\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{-16}{4}\\x = -4

Hence,

The solution is (-4,4)

2. Limited availability of the Earth resources

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Global warming is the ongoing rise of the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and has been demonstrated by direct temperature measurements and by measurements of various effects of the warming. It is a major aspect of climate change which, in addition to rising global surface temperatures, also includes its effects, such as changes in precipitation. The global warming is as a result of carbon emissions caused largely by fossil fuel

2. Limited availability of earths resources as warranted the need to source for alternative means of energy

Will give Brainlies!!!<br> What is the y=mx+b of the equation 3x−2y=12
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

y=3/2x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y=mx+b you need to move the y on one side while moving the others on the other side

First, move the 3x to the other side by subtracting by 3x on both sides:

-2y=-3x+12

Divide by -2 on both sides:

y=3/2x-6
