the answer is <u>C</u>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=9.5
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the answer, we know that 6x + 4x - 5 = 90
Next we want to combine like terms: 10x - 5 = 90.
Now we have to add 5 to 90 in order to get x on its own. 10x = 95
Now solve for x by dividing 95 by 10: x=9.5
f(5) is -1
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given f(x) = -2x + 9, find f(5)
f(5) = -2 × 5 + 9 = -10 + 9 = -1
Answer:
b. (2, 5, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Trying the offered choices seems the fastest way to find the answer. The second choice works in all equations, hence is the solution.
Another strategy you can use is to see if the equations are dependent. Here, it looks like adding twice the third equation to the other two eliminates at least the x- and y-variables. If that eliminates z, then there are infinite solutions. Instead, it gives the equation ...
7z = 21
z = 3 . . . . . divide by 7
This answer is consistent with choice B, confirming that answer and eliminating the other choices.
