Mathematics

Sergeeva-Olga [200]3 years ago
3 0

Answer and step-by-step explanation:

a) -4x + 5y = -9 (2)

2x + 3y = 21

Multiply the second equation by 2, you will get:

4x + 6y = 42 (1)

Use (1) plus with (2), you will get:

4x + (-4x) + 6y + 5y = -9 + 42

11y = 33

y = 33/11

y = 3

4x + 18 = 42

4x = 24

x = 6

b) 2x + 5y = -6

3x + 2y = 2

Multiply first equation by 3, you will get:

6x + 15y = -18 (1)

Multiply the second equation by 2 and you will get:

6x + 4y = 4 (2)

Subtract (1) by (2), we got:

6x -6x + 15y - 4y = -18 - 4

11y = -22

y = -22/11

y = -2

6x + 4y = 4

6x -8 = 4

6x = 12

x = 2

c) 2x - 2y = -4

5x + 4y = 17 (2)

Multiply the first euation by 2, we got:

4x - 4y = -4 (3)

Use (3) minus for (2), we get:

4x - 5x -4y + 4y = -4 - 17

-x = -21

x = 21

4x - 4y = -4

84 - 4y = -4

-4y = -4 + 84

-4y = 80

y = 80 / -4

y = -20

d) 2x - 3y = 6

4x - 5y = 9 (1)

Multiply the first equation by 2, we got:

4x - 6y = 12 (2)

Use (1) minus for (2), we got:

4x -4x - 5y - 6y = 9 -12

-11y = -3

y = -3/-11

y = 3/11

2x - 3y = 6

2x - 9/11 = 6

2x = 66/11 + 9/ 11

2x = 75/11

x = 75/11 * 1/2

x = 75 / 22

e) x/2 + y/3 = 2

x/4 + y/3 = 4

Use the first equation subtract the second equation, we got:

x/2 - x/4 + y/3 - y/3 = 2 - 4

2x/4 -x/4 = -2

x/ 4 = -2

x = -2 * 4

x = -8

x/2 + y/3 = 2

-8 / 2 + y/3 = 2

y / 3 = 2 + 4

y/3 = 6

y = 6*3

y = 18

f) x/3 + y/2 = 3/2 (1)

x/2 + y/5 = -1/2 (2)

I don't know how to solve this, sr

Hope this helped :3

Bill has these expenditures for his utilities: December,
Brrunno [24]

The average monthly expenses for Bill's utilities is $266.67.

It is given in the question that:-

Expenditure in December by Bill = $ 234.45

Expenditure in January by Bill = $ 281.23

Expenditure in February by Bill = $ 284.33

We have to find the average monthly expenses for Bill's utilities.

We know that,

Average monthly expense for utilities = (Expenditure in December + Expenditure in January + Expenditure in February)/3

Hence, using the data given in the question, we can write,

Average monthly expense for utilities = (234.45 + 281.23 + 284.33)/3

Average monthly expense for utilities = 800.01/3 =  $266.67

Which would be the best trend line for the given data set?
KengaRu [80]

y=-2/3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the scattered plot, it is evident that the line of best fit will have a negative slope from the way the plots are aligned.

Selecting the line of best fit that will cut the y axis at +5, the points can be estimated as;

(5,1.5) and (3.5,2.5)

The slope can be found as;

m=Δy/Δx

m=2.5-1.5/3.5-5 =1.0/ -1.5 = -0.67

Finding the equation as;

m=Δy/Δx

-0.66 = y-2.5/x-3.5

-0.66(x-3.5) = y-2.5

-0.66x+2.3=y-2.5

-0.66x+2.3+2.5=y

-0.66x+4.7=y

⇒⇒  y= -0.66 x + 4.7

⇒⇒y= -2/3 x + 5
