2x+3y=4

Mathematics
1 answer:
garri49 [273]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

2x+3y=4 -----> equation A

2x-5y=-12  -----> equation B

Solve the system by elimination

Multiply both sides equation A by -1

-1(2x+3y)=-1(4)

-2x-3y=-4-----> equation C

Adds equation C and equation B

-2x-3y=-4\\2x-5y=-12\\------\\-3y-5y=-4-12\\-8y=-16\\y=2

<em>Find the value of x</em>

substitute the value of y in either equation

2x+3(2)=4\\2x+6=4\\2x=-2\\x=-1

The solution is the point (-1,2)

In this problem Option A,B and C are correct

The option D not result in a system with a pair of opposite terms

because

Multiply both sides of equation B by -3

-3(2x-5y)=-3(-12)

-6x+15y=36  -----> equation C

Multiply both sides of equation A by 55(2x+3y)=5(4)

10x+15y=20  ----> equation D

so

equation C and equation D not have a pair of opposite terms

Simplify 500 to the nearest common factor
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor both the numerator and denominator down to prime factors:

500 = 22 * 53

1,000 = 23 * 53

Calculate the greatest common factor, GCF (also called greatest common divisor, GCD), by taking all the common prime factors of the numerator and denominator, by the lowest exponents:

gcd (22 * 53; 23 * 53) = 22 * 53

Divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, GCF (also called the greatest common divisor, GCD):

500/1,000 =

(22 * 53)/(23 * 53) =

((22 * 53) ÷ (22 * 53)) / ((23 * 53) ÷ (22 * 53)) =

1/2

Rewrite result:

1 ÷ 2 = 0.5 as a decimal number.

Hope this helps!!

Give the boundaries of 9 pounds
AleksandrR [38]

Answer: The boundaries of 9 pounds are;

               8.5 – 9.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation: Method used to find the boundaries.

The boundaries of an indicated value are the upper and lower bounds of

the value, which are the possible minimum or maximum values the

number may be before being rounded to the current value.

The given boundaries is = 9 pounds

The lowest possible value, 9 pounds can be before rounding up is 8.5 pounds.

Therefore; 8.5 pounds is the lower bound of 9 pounds.

The highest possible value of 9 pounds is 9.44999... pounds which is approximately 9.5 pounds

Therefore; The upper bound of 9 pounds is 9.5 pounds

Which gives;

The boundaries of 9 pounds are;

8.5 – 9.5 pounds

How can I use number patterns to find the lcm of 120 and 360
SashulF [63]
You can use number patterns to find the LCM of 120 and 360 by multiplying 120 by 1,2,3,4,5,6,and so on and do the same with 360 until you find the least number that they have in common.
