Answer:
She should have substituted y = 17 - 2x in the first equation
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 4y = 33
2x + y = 17
y = 17 - 2x
3x + 4(17 - 2x) = 33
3x + 68 - 8x = 33
5x = 35
x = 7
y = 17 - 2(7)
y = 3
x = 7, y = 3
Only one solution
Answer:
W=88
Step-by-step explanation:
4*(c-66)=c
4c-66*4=c
3c=66*4
c=22*4
c=88
w=88
16 gal... 480 mi
1 gal... 480/16 = 30 mi
9 gal.. 30*9 = 270 mi
Answer: m = -5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation for slope is rise over run, also known as:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
From the points (x, y), we can get all the variables we need.
(-1, -7) gives us x1 = -1 and y1 = -7
(-9, -2) gives us x2 = -9 and y2 = -2
If we plug all the values in, we get:
m = (-2 - (-7))/(-9 - (-1))
m = (-2 + 7)/(-9 + 1) the negatives cancel
m = (5)/(-8)
m = -5/8
