How do you solve the following system of equations by eliminating the y-values? I've already solved it by eliminating the x-valu

es so I know the answer is (-9/2, -10) but I'm having trouble getting that answer by eliminating the y-values.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of the y terms are -3 and 2.  The least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6.  So multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3, so that the y terms have a coefficient of 6.

4x − 6y = 42

-18x + 6y = 21

The signs are opposite, so add the equations together.

-14x = 63

x = -9/2

Doss [256]

Answer:

D) Segment YZ and segment Y"Z" are proportional after the dilation and congruent after the translation.

Step-by-step explanation:

After a dilation, a figure remains proportional because its angles and betweenness of points remain the same. After a translation, the image stays congruent to the pre-image.

How to solve -2p^2=16p+24
frozen [14]

Add  2p²  to each side of the equation.  Then you have

                 2p² + 16p + 24  =  0 .

Before you roll up your sleeves and start working on it, you can make it
even more convenient if you divide each side by  2 .  Then you have:

                 p² + 8p + 12 = 0 .

Now you have a nice, comfortable, familiar-looking quadratic equation. 
You can either factor the left side into  (p + 6) (p + 2), or, if you can't find
the factors, you can apply the quadratic formula to it.

That's how to solve it, and find its two solutions.

Type the correct answer in the box.
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

f(g(-64)) = -190

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions are not well written.

Let us assume;

f(x) = x+1

g(x) = 3x+1

f(g(x)) = f(3x+1)

Replace x with 3x+1 in f(x)

f(g(x)) = (3x+1) + 1

f(g(x)) = 3x + 2

f(g(-64)) = 3(-64) + 2

f(g(-64)) = -192+2

f(g(-64)) = -190

<em>Note that the functions are assumed but same method can be employed when calculating composite functions</em>

almond37 [142]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>1. A. You allow the passenger to board his flight when the passenger has a weapon.</u>

<u>2. B. You select the passenger for further inspection when the passenger has no weapon.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

1. Remember, a Type I error in simple words means that the assumption "the passenger has a weapon" (null hypothesis) is <em>actually true,</em> but the airport security screener <em>incorrectly concluded it is false. </em>In other words, he assumed the passenger had no weapon and allowed the passenger to board his flight <u>when he actually did have one.</u>

<em>2. While, </em><em>a </em><em>Type II error </em><em>means that </em>the assumption "the passenger has a weapon" (null hypothesis) is <em>actually false, </em>but the airport security screener <em>incorrectly concluded it is true. </em>In other words, he assumed the passenger had a weapon and selected the passenger for further inspection <u>when he actually didn't have one.</u>
