I think it would be easiest to solve for x in this system of equations if you did so by elimination:
Start by finding the least common multiple of 3 and 2 to make the Ys cancel:
4x-6y=-54
-9x+6y=69
_________
-5x=15
x=-3 - answer B
Answer: (16,3) and (4,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the equation x-4y=4 is asking what is the value of x if the value of y is 3. So plot it into the equation and solve for x.
x-4(3)=4 multiply the left side
x - 12 = 4 add 12 to both sides
x= 16
You will now have the coordinates (16,3)
In the second pair it gives the x coordinate which is 4 but we need to solve for y.
4 - 4y=4 subtract 4 from both sides
-4 -4
-4y = 0 Divide both sides by 4
y = 0
The ordered pair will be (4,0)
The function:f ( x ) = x * 0.965^twhere x is the initial amount and t is the number of the years80 = x * 0.965^380 = x * 0.89632x = 80 : 0.89632 ≈ 89Answer:The initial amount of animals was 89.
There would be 16 roses and 24 carnations in 4 bouquets.
