Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 6 = -9
3x = -15
x = -5
All the numbers in the first equation have a common factor of 2. Removing that gives
.. x +4y = 6
making it easy to solve for x
.. x = 6 -4y
My choice would be to solve for x using the first equation.
_____
On second thought, it might actually be easier to solve either equation for 8y. That term then directly substitutes into the other equation (equivalent to adding the two equations).
.. 8y = 3x -11 . . . . . from the second equation
.. 2x +(3x -11) = 12 . . . substituting into the first equation
.. 5x = 23 . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, add 11 (what you would get by adding the equations in the first place)
.. x = 4.6
.. y = (3*4.6 -11)/8 = 0.35
Answer:
The answer is C i.e y = 3.25 x + 4.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the graph in which the Javier made a scatter plot to show the data he collected on the growth of a plant.
Now, we have to choose the equation which best represents Javier's data.
The graph shown does not pass through origin therefore intercept can not be equal to 0. hence solution A discarded.
The graph of rest of three solutions attached and the points which shown in the graph match to the points on the graph of solution third as shown. Hence, The answer is C i.e y = 3.25 x + 4.60
