Answer:
A. (–8, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) y = ½x + 6
(2) y = -¾x – 4 Set (1) = (2)
½x + 6 = -¾x – 4 Multiply each side by 4
2x + 24 = -3x – 16 Add 16 to each side
2x + 40 = -3x Subtract 2x from each side
40 = -5x Divide each side by -5
(3) x = -8 Substitute (2) into (1)
y = ½(-8) +6
= -4 + 6
= 2
The solution to the system of equations is (-8 ,2).
You can see the graphs of the two functions in the figure below. The two lines intersect at (-8, 2).
Check:
2 = ½(-8) + 6 2 = -¾(-8) - 4
2 = -4 +6 2 = 6 - 4
2 = 2 2 = 2
I think the answer is 1 point
If you divide all of them together starting inside of the parentheses you will get the wrong answer bc I’m just typing random thing
At noon, the temperature was 36 degrees. At midnight, the temperature was 30 degrees. By 6:00 am it drooped 5 degrees. Since it dropped 5 degrees, you subtract 5 from 30, which equals 25. It then increased by 11 degrees. Since the temperature increased, you add 11 to 25, which equals 36. At noon, the temperature was 36 degrees.
