So if you're solving by substitution, one equation must be in slope intercept form. Ill just go with the first one. 

-4x+y=6
<u>+4x        +4x
</u>y=6+4x

Now substitute the value of y in for the value of y in the second equation:
-5x-(6+4x)=21
-5x-6-4x=21
-9x-6=21
<u>     +6  +6
</u><u>-9x=27
</u>-9    -9

x=-3

Now input that into the first equation:
-4(-3)+y=6
12+y=6
<u>-12    -12</u>
y=-6


I HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL! If it was, please rate my answer!

Find the Y-coordinate of point P that lies 1/3 along segment RS, where R (-7, -2) and S (2, 4).
QveST [7]

Solution:

Given that the point P lies 1/3 along the segment RS as shown below:

To find the y coordinate of the point P, since the point P lies on 1/3 along the segment RS, we have

\begin{gathered} RP:PS \\ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}:\frac{2}{3} \\ thus,\text{ we have} \\ 1:2 \end{gathered}

Using the section formula expressed as

[\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]

In this case,

\begin{gathered} m=1 \\ n=2 \end{gathered}

where

\begin{gathered} x_1=-7 \\ y_1=-2 \\ x_2=2 \\ y_2=4 \end{gathered}

Thus, by substitution, we have

\begin{gathered} [\frac{1(2)+2(-7)}{1+2},\frac{1(4)+2(-2)}{1+2}] \\ \Rightarrow[\frac{2-14}{3},\frac{4-4}{3}] \\ =[-4,\text{ 0\rbrack} \end{gathered}

Hence, the y-coordinate of the point P is

Can anyone help with this question
4vir4ik [10]

Answer: A) x=6

Step-by-step explanation: my trick that i do with these questions are to just fill in the x's with the different choices that they give you.

so... first try out 6. fill in every x with a 6. so now, x isn't x anymore, it's 6.

(8-6)=2

9 times 2= 18

3 times 6= 18

this means that x would equal 6

if that first one doesn't work, try out the other ones. but this one works, so we know we have the right answer. i hope this helps with this problem, and i hope it helps with other problems like this too.
