Y=1/2x +5 Y=-3/2x-7 Find x and y

1 answer:

8 0

I'm going to use the substitution method.

If y = - 3/2 - 7, then:

1/2x + 5 = - 3/2x - 7

Combine like terms:

4/2x = - 12. Mutiply both sides by 2/4 to get x = -12 (2/4)

Simplify to get:

x = - 6.

Plug - 6 back in for x in either equation.

Y = 1/2( - 6) + 5 which becomes Y = - 3 + 5.

X = - 6, Y = 2

Which symbol correctly compares these two fractions? 6/9 ? 2/3. A = B < C >

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that you can simplify 6/9 because both the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) can be divided by 3. Therefore, you divide them by 3 to get 2/3. 2/3 cannot be simplified anymore. 2/3 is equal to 2/3. Therefore, the answer is A.
