Answer:
(-2, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 5y = 7
3x - 2y = -12
Let's solve this by elimination. We want to eliminate one variable at a time. This means we need to multiply the equations to create a common multiple to cancel out a variable.
Let's work with y.
5y and -2y: For these values to cancel out, we need to multiply each term to create a common multiple.
2(4x + 5y = 7)
5(3x - 2y = -12)
Multiply.
8x + 10y = 14
15x - 10y = -60
Eliminate.
23x = -46
Divide both sides by 23.
x = -2
Now that we know x, let's plug it back into one of equations to find y.
4x + 5y = 7
4(-2) + 5y = 7
Multiply.
-8 + 5y = 7
Add.
5y = 15
Divide.
y = 3
Now we know x and y; let's plug both back into the equation we have not checked yet.
3x - 2y = -12
3(-2) - 2(3) = -12
Multiply.
-6 - 6 = -12
Subtract.
-12 = -12
Your solution is correct.
(-2, 3)

Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 times -5 equals 15 because two negatives multiplied by each other equals a positive.
I will be able to answer this question, if it wasn't sideways
If the difference is always -4.5, then it is always -4.5 times something, so that it changes -4.5 ever 1 number. This means that our equation is y=-4.5x. From there, we can add any constant, as it will not change the difference. I will leave that up to you to pick, so the equation is y=-4.5x+C, where C is any real number.
Hope this helps!
