Answer:

Option A

The solution set is (-8,2)


Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a system of equations as

x+2y=-4\\3x+5y=-14\\

We have to solve this by substitution method

Consider the first equation and write x in terms of y

[tex]x=-2y-4[/tex]

Substitute in II equation as follows:

3(-2y-4)+5y=-14\\-6y-12+5y=-14\\-y=12-14=-2\\y=2\\x=-4-2(2)\\=-8

The system has a unique solution and the solution set is

(-8,2)

Answer:

Choice A is correct answer.

(-8,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given two equations.

x+2y = -4                        eq(1)

3x+5y = -14                    eq(2)

We have to find the values of x and y by subtitution method.

Adding -2y to both sides of eq(1), we have

x+2y-2y = -4-2y

x = -4-2y                 eq(3)

Subtitute above value of x in eq(2), we have

3(-4-2y)+5y = -14

-12-6y +5y = -14

Adding like terms, we have

-12 -y = -14

Adding 12 to both sides of above equation , we have

12-12-y  = 12-14

-y = -2

Cancelling negative sign of both sides, we have

y = 2

Putting the value of y in eq(3) , we have

x = -4-2(2)

x = -4-4

x = -8

hence, the solution set (-8,2).

What is the solution of the system of equations? y=-4x+10 y=-2x-6
Elina [12.6K]

Question-


What is the solution of the system of equations? y=-4x+10 y=-2x-6


Answer-


y = -4x + 10

y = -2x - 6


-4x + 10 = -2x - 6

-4x + 2x = -6 - 10

-2x = -16

x = -16/-2

x = 8


y = -4x + 10

y = -4(8) + 10

y = -32 + 10

y = -22


solution is (8,-22)

Someone help with this question ?????? Hi
8090 [49]
ANSWER

The second statement is the contrapositive of the first.

EXPLANATION

If we have the conditional statement,

x\Rightarrow \: y

Then the converse of this statement is
y\Rightarrow \: x

The inverse of this statement is
\neg \: x\Rightarrow \neg \: y

and the contrapositive of this statement is
\neg \: y\Rightarrow \neg \: x

The correct answer is C.
