Answer:

x = - 5, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + 2y = - 9 → (1)

4x - 2y = - 26 → (2)

Adding (1) and (2) term by term eliminates the y- term, that is

7x = - 35 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = - 5

Substitute x = - 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

3(- 5) + 2y = - 9

- 15 + 2y = - 9 ( add 15 to both sides )

2y = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 3

Change the fraction to an equivalent fraction using multiplication.
sashaice [31]

Answer:

\frac{5}{7\\} * \frac{3}{3} = \frac{15}{21}

Step-by-step explanation:

To get an equivalent fraction, we multiply by a fraction that is equal to one. The purpose is to alter the denominator of the fraction. To get from a denominator of 7 to 21 we multiply by 3. Therefore we will multiply 5/7 by 3/3 to get the new equivalent fraction with a denominator of 21.

Test worth 75 points ; test score of 96%
vfiekz [6]
Presuming the question is "How many points did he miss", you would find the solution by multiplying the amount of possible points by the test score as a fraction. 96% is the fraction \frac{96}{100}. Therefore, you get the equation 75*\frac{96}{100}. This is equal to 72, so he missed 3 points, or 75-72 points. 

He missed 3 points.

Questio
Olenka [21]

Answer:

  d = -1/3, 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the constant on the left, take the square root, and solve from there.

  (6d +1)^2 + 12 = 13 . . . . given

  (6d +1)^2 = 1 . . . . . . . . . .subtract 12

  6d +1 = ±√1 . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

  6d = -1 ±1 . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 1

  d = (-1 ±1)/6 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6

  d = -1/3, 0

_____

Using a graphing calculator, it is often convenient to write the function so the solutions are at x-intercepts. Here, we can do that by subtracting 13 from both sides:

  f(x) = (6x+1)^ +12 -13

We want to solve this for f(x)=0. The solutions are -1/3 and 0, as above.
