Answer: True</h3>
Explanation:
Technically you could isolate any variable you wanted, from either equation. However, convention is to pick the variable in which isolating it is easiest, and most efficient.
The key thing to look for is if there's a coefficient of 1. This is found in the second equation for the y term. Think of -4x+y = -13 as -4x+1y = -13. Due to the coefficient of 1, when solving for y we won't involve messy fractions.
If you were to solve for y, then you'd get y = 4x-13, which is then plugged in (aka substituted) into the first equation. That allows you to solve for x. Once you know x, you can determine y.
Answer:
8 dollars per pound
Step-by-step explanation:
40 divided by 5 will give you the $/lb
40/5=8 so its $8/lb
Answer:
x=3
Explanation:
Let's write an equation for the area of this figure.
This figure can be divided into 2 rectangles, a vertical and horizontal rectangle.
Area of rectangle= length× breadth
Area of vertical rectangle= 6x
Length of horizontal rectangle= (7 -x) cm
Area of horizontal rectangle= x(7-x)
Since total area= 30 cm^2,
6x+ x(7-x)= 30
6x +7x -x^2= 30 (expand)
-x^2 +13x-30= 0 (bring all terms to one side)
x^2 -13x +30= 0 (divide by -1)
(x -10)(x -3)= 0 (factorise)
x -10= 0 or x -3= 0
x= 10 or x= 3
(reject)
We reject x=10 since from the diagram, x cm is less than 6cm.
Answer:
The parallel line would be y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
If a line is parallel to x = -2, then it is a horizontal line. All horizontal lines can be written in the form of y = (a number). That number can be found as the y-coordinate in the ordered pair given.
y = 7
