The correct answer is option 1: x = -4y+19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

$3x+2y=17\ \ \ Eqn1\\x+4y=19\ \ \ \ Eqn2$

When we have to solve a system of equations using substitution method we look for a variable in both of equations that is without any co-efficient as it is easy to isolate that variable in the equation and then using substitution method to solve it

We can see that in equation 2, x is without any co-efficient

So,

$x+4y = 19$

Subtracting 4y from both sides

$x+4y-4y = 19-4y\\x = 19-4y\\$

Can also be written as:

$x = -4y+19$

Hence,

The correct answer is option 1: x = -4y+19

3. The diameter of the large bird bath is 6 feet. The CGJ girls plan to put bird perches around the outside edge of the bath suc

Leokris [45]

First we need to determine the circumference of the bath.

Circumference = Diameter X pi

6(pi) = 18.84 feet

and the girls want to put perches that are at least 3 feet between each other so you can just divide the circumference by 3

18.84 / 3 = 6.28 so 6

If you don't understand the concept then think of it like this, if you have in total 18.84 feet and you want to place something down every 3 feet then start subtracting 3 from your total till you can't add anymore perches.

18 - 3 = 15
15 - 3 = 12
12 - 3 = 9
9 - 3 = 6
6 - 3 = 3
3 - 3 = 0

We subtracted 3, SIX times so we added 6 perches

I need someone who can explain how to do this so I can understand please ASAP!!

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An area is just a number squared, so we need to find the square root of the area.

Square root of 25 = 5

So each edge is 5 feet.

Hope this helps :)

X will be the number of years worked, now we just have to make the equation true.
I did the work out already, and the answer is 8!
If you want to check my answer just substitute it in to the problem for x.

3y = x - 12<br> Y= 1/3X -4<br> parallel, perpendicular or neither

aliina [53]

Answer:

PARALLEL

Step-by-step explanation:

The second equation, y = (1/3)x - 4, has already been solved for y. To compare the slopes easily, we need now to solve the first equation for y, obtaining y = (1/3)x - 4.

We see that these two lines have the same slope, m = 1/3, and thus conclude that these lines are PARALLEL.
