Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a System of equations, you can use the Elimination Method to solve it by transforming the system in order to cancel out one of the variables. But first, the terms of both equations must be written in the same order.

To cancel out one of the variables, the coefficients must be opposites, which means that one must be positive and the other one must be negative.

Given the following  System of equations:

\left \{ {{3x - 12y = 5} \atop {3y - x = 9} \right.

You can notice that the order of the terms is not the same, so, if you want to use the Elimination Method to solve the system of equations,  the first step you must apply is to rewrite the equations so like variable terms are in the same order.

Then:

\left \{ {{3x - 12y = 5} \atop {-x+3y = 9} \right.

Graph △XYZ with vertices X(2, 3), Y(−3, 2), and Z(−4,−3) and its image after the translation (x, y)→(x+3, y−1)
viktelen [127]

Answer:

  • X'(5, 2)
  • Y'(0, 1)
  • Z'(-1, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The translation increases each x-coordinate by 3, moving the point 3 units to the right. It decreases each y-coordinate by 1, moving the point 1 unit down.

  (x, y) ⇒ (x+3, y-1)

  X(2, 3) ⇒ X'(5, 2)

  Y(-3, 2) ⇒ Y'(0, 1)

  Z(-4, -3) ⇒ Z'(-1, -4)

The red arrows show the translation of each point in the graph.

Write a rule for the nth term of the sequence 15, 19, 23, 27
Mkey [24]

Answer:

aₙ= 4n+11

Step-by-step explanation:

the sequence 15, 19, 23, 27

is AP with the first term 15 and

the common difference 19-15=23-19=27-23= 4

aₙ= a₁+(n-1)d

aₙ= 15+(n-1)*4= 15+4n- 4= 4n+11

aₙ= 4n+11
