Answer:
D. (-3, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equations have different coefficients for x and y, so will have one solution. The solutions offered are easily tested in either equation.
Using (x, y) = (-2, -3):
x = y -1 ⇒ -2 = -3 -1 . . . . False
Using (x, y) = (-3, -2):
x = y -1 ⇒ -3 = -2 -1 . . . .True
2x = 3y ⇒ 2(-3) = 3(-2) . . . . True
The solution is (-3, -2).

If you'd like to solve the set of equations, substitution for x works nicely.
2(y -1) = 3y
2y -2 = 3y . . eliminate parentheses
-2 = y . . . . . . subtract 2y
x = -2 -1 = -3
The solution is (x, y) = (-3, -2).
Answer:
measure of exterior angle at C = 160°
Step-by-step explanation:
An exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the two remote interior angles
A and B are the remote interior angles. So,
m∠A + m∠B = measure of exterior angle at C
5x - 10 + 12x = 16x
17x - 10 = 16x
x = 10
measure of exterior angle at C = 16x = 16(10) = 160°
Answer:
- True for Co-Prime Numbers
- False for Non Co-Prime Numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>STATEMENT:</u> The LCM of two numbers is the product of the two numbers.
This statement is not true except if the two numbers are co-prime numbers.
Two integers a and b are said to be co-prime if the only positive integer that divides both of them is 1.
<u>Example: </u>
- Given the numbers 4 and 7, the only integer that divides them is 1, therefore they are co-prime numbers and their LCM is their product 28.
- However, consider the number 4 and 8. 1,2 and 4 divides both numbers, they are not co-prime, Their LCM is 8 which is not the product of the numbers.
