Solve the system of equations. -x - 3y = 20 -x + 4y = -36

1 answer:

8 0

Multiply the second equation by 1 to make it positive then add them together.
-x-3y=20
+x-4y=36
----------------
-7y=56
y=-8

Plug that into one of the equations above.
-x-3(-8)=20
-x+24=20
-x=20-24
-x=-4
x=4

So x=4 y=-8 or (4,-8)

Hope that helps

98. Explain in your own words, how you can tell from its equation whether a parabola opens up, down, left or right.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

The same way you tell if a parabola opens up or down, by the leading coefficient of the variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the x-axis is positive to the right, a positive leading coefficient (3) means it opens to the right. eg. And a negative leading coefficient (-2) means it opens to the left.
