Without graphing, is the system independent, dependent, or inconsistent?

Putting the equations into standard form helps me identify dependent and inconsistent systems. In standard form, the leading coefficient is positive, and all numbers are mutually prime (have no common factors).

1.) 2x + y = -9 . . . . . . multiply the original equation by -1

... 3x - 4y = -8 . . . . . . the system is independent

These two equations will give rise to a single solution.

_____

2.) 4x + y = 4 . . . . . . divide the original equation by 3

... 4x + y = 5 . . . . . . . the system is inconsistent

These two equations describe parallel lines, so will not have a point of intersection. There are no values of x and y that can satisfy both equations.

Brain was asked to round 4.44 to the nearest tenth and said it was 4.5 Is he correct?Why or Why not?
Annette [7]
Brian (I think you meant Brian haha..) is incorrect because the tenth place is the number right after the decimal which is a 4. If you are rounding to the tenth place that means that you have to look at the number to the right of that, which is 4. 5 and up means you round up and 4 and down means you round down. This is a 4, so you keep the 4 after the decimal and get rid of the last 4. Therefore, when rounded it would be: 4.4.
Hope this helped! Good luck! :)

Which statement is true about f(x) = –6|x + 5| – 2?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"The graph of f(x) is a horizontal compression of the graph of the parent function" is true; the graph will appear to be narrower than that of y = |x|.  I would prefer to state "the graph of f(x) exhibits vertical stretching of the original (parent) function graph."

SOLVE FOR BRAINLIEST PLEASE
grandymaker [24]

<u>Answer</u>:

x = 20

<u>Explanation</u>:

all the interior angles in the triangle is 180°

<u>therefore</u>:

4x - 17° + 71° + 46° = 180°

4x + 100° = 180°

4x = 180° - 100°

4x = 80°

x = 20°
