6 0

Answer:

H.28

Step-by-step explanation:

x : y = 3 : 4

=> 4x=3y => x=3y/4 -----(1)

(x+y)-9=40

=>x+y=49

using (1)

3y/4 +y= 49

y=28

substituting y in (1)

x=21

hence 28 is greater.

Find a solution to the linear equation −2x−2y=8 by filling in the boxes with a valid value of x and y.Provide your answer below:

inna [77]

Given

$-2x-2y=8$

To find a solution for the linear equation, the first step is to write the equation in slope-intercept form:

-Pass the x-term to the right side of the equation by applying the opposite operation to both sides of the equal sign:

$\begin{gathered} -2x+2x-2y=8+2x \\ -2y=2x+8 \end{gathered}$

-Divide both sides by -2:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{2x}{-2}+\frac{8}{-2} \\ y=-x-4 \end{gathered}$

Once you have expressed the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, replace it with any value for x and calculate the corresponding value of y, for example, x=2

$\begin{gathered} y=-(2)-4 \\ y=-2-4 \\ y=-6 \end{gathered}$

One solution for the linear equation is x=2 and y=-6, you can check the solution by replacing the values on the original equation, with both values the result should be 8:
