What is the solution to the system of equations below?

English
1 answer:
yarga [219]3 years ago

Answer:

x = -2, y = 1

Explanation:

Finding X:

3x + 4y = -2

2x - 4y = -8

      5x = -10

   5x/5 = -10/5

        x = -2

Why: Using the elimination method, you can eliminate 4y and -4y since they are opposites. Then its an addition problem; 3x plus 2x is 5x. -2 plus -8 is -10. From there it's "junk and divide"

Finding Y:

2(-2) - 4y = -8

    -4 -4y = -8

   +4          +4

        -4y = -4

    -4y/-4 = -4/-4

             y = 1    

Why: Because you found that x = -2, you can then plug it in one of the equations. From there its simple "junk and divide". Hope this helps this took a long time to type lol.

"I continued, as was my wont, to smile in his face, and he did not perceive
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

O Montresor is an unreliable narrator.

Explanation:

This passage is narrated in the first person. As we know, Montressor, the narrator, is an unbalanced man and crazy for revenge. In his conception Fortunato would never be able to understand what his plans were and why he acted the way he did, but we are not able to know if this is true, through the narration of Montressor.

As we only know his perception of what happens in history, we do not know what is real and what is invented, so we can say that he is not a reliable narrator.
