14x - (2x - y) - y
14x + (-1(2x - y)) - y
14x + (-1(2x) - 1(-y)) - y
14x + (-2x + y) - y
14x + 1(-2x + y) - y
14x + 1(-2x) + 1(y) - y
14x - 2x + y - y

14x-(2x-y)-y

First you must distribute through the negative in front of the parenthesis means the same as

14x- 1(2x-y)-y

so you must multiply 2x and -y by -1

-1* 2x= -2x

-1* -y= y ( two negatives equal a positive)

Now: 14x-2x+y-y (the y's cancel leaving-)

14x-2x

You're answer is 12x

Substitution<br> 1.y=-5x-19<br> y=-6x-24<br><br> 2.y=-6x-22<br> y=-3x-10
omeli [17]

Answer:

1. y=5 and x=-5

2. y=2 and x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

1.y=-5x-19

y=-6x-24

since both equations are equal to y, they are also equal to eachother

-5x-19=-6x-24

addition P.O.E.

x-19=-24

addition P.O.E.

x=-5

substitute x into one equation

y=-5*-5-19

y=6

2. y=-6x-22

y=-3x-10

since both equations are equal to y, they are also equal to eachother

-6x-22=-3x-10

addition P.O.E.

-22=3x-10

addition P.O.E.

-12=3x

division P.O.E.

-4=x

substitute x into one equation

y=-3*-4-10

y=2

Which point is an x-intercept of the quadratic function<br> f(x) = (x – 8)(x + 9)?
max2010maxim [7]

x-intercept means f(x) = 0

(x-8)(x+9) = 0 ⇒ x = 8 or x = - 9

There are two points which are x-intercepts. They are (8,0) and (-9,0).

If human height were quantized in one-foot increments, what would happen to the height of a child as she grows up?
agasfer [191]
I believe what the problem means is that the height of the child, if he/she grows in height, the mesurements are equal to 1 ft, 2 ft, 3 ft, 4 ft, etc only. and no decimals or fractions in between. it is also said that a human stops growing at the age of 20 naturally, hence with this increment, a child can grow incredibly very tall.
