Answer:
Multiply the first equation by 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x+y=3) which gives
4x+4y=12
and
4x-y=7
Then subtract the two equations and the x variable will be eliminated.
17=5k-2
add 2 to both sides
19=5k
divide both sides by 5
19/5=k
19/5=3 and 4/5
The answer would be 16 because 40 divided by 5 is 8 and 8 times 2 is sixteen so it would be 16
The slope of the given line is found from the coefficient of x after dividing the equation by 2.
.. y = -3x +4
The given line has slope -3.
A perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of this:
.. -1/(-3) = 1/3
This corresponds to your 3rd choice.
So they tell you to let x represent the cost of Deandra's sofa. So since Selena's sofa costs 30 dollars LESS than HALF the cost of Deandra's, we know we have to divide by 2 and subtract 30.
The equation would be x/2-30. (B)
