Answer:

Substitution and graphing are less efficient methods than elimination for this system as there is extra amount of steps we have to take to solve the same system of equations - hence time consuming and a margin or error may happen. Therefore, elimination is the suitable method for solving this system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the system of equation below.

4x-5y=3

3x+5y=13

Elimination method sounds the most appropriate option to solve the given system of equations as we can easily sort out an equation in one variable x in minimal steps by just adding the both equations as the y-coefficient in the first equation is the opposite of the y-coefficient in the second equation, and we can determine an equation in one variable x.

Adding both equations will eliminate the y-variable and we can easily sort out the value of x from the resulting equation.

As the given system of equation

4x-5y=3......[1]

3x+5y=13......[2]

Adding Equation 1 and Equation 2

4x-5y+3x+5y=3+13

7x=16

x=\frac{16}{7}

Putting x=\frac{16}{7} in Equation [1]

4x-5y=3......[1]

y=\frac{43}{35}

Although substitution or graphing methods can also be used to bring the solution of the given system of equations, but using substitution or graphing method can be sometimes cumbersome or time-consuming as it would have to take some additional steps to solve the system.

For example, if we would have to use the substitution methods to solve the given system of equations, first we would have to solve one of the equations by choosing one of the equation for one of the chosen variables and then putting this back into the other equation, and solve for the other, and then back-solving for the first variable.

As the given system of equation

4x-5y=3......[1]

3x+5y=13......[2]

Solving the equation 2 for x variable

3x=13-5y

x=\frac{13-5y}{3}

Plugging x=\frac{13-5y}{3} in equation [1]

4(\frac{13-5y}{3}) -5y=3

y = \frac{43}{35}

Putting y = \frac{43}{35} in Equation 2

3x+5y=13......[2]

x = \frac{16}{7}

So, you can figure out, we have to make additional steps when we use substitution method to solve this system of equations.

Similarly, using graphing method, it would take a certain time before we identify the solution of the system.

Hence, from all the discussion and analysis we did, we can safely say that substitution and graphing are less efficient methods than elimination for this system as there is extra amount of steps we have to take to solve the same system of equations - hence time consuming and a margin or error may happen.

Therefore, we agree with the student argument that Elimination is the best method for solving this system because the y-coefficient in the first equation is the opposite of the y-coefficient in the second equation.

Hey! Please find the value of x, so I can find the value of angle H! Thanks

Hey there! :D

The congruence marks on the trapezoid make the angles congruent. This makes opposite angles supplementary. (Because all the angles in a trapezoid add up to 360 degrees)

12x-31+6x-5= 180

18x-36= 180

Add 36 to both sides. 

18x= 216 

Divide both sides by 18. 

x= 12

You can just plug that in to find m<H. 

6x-5

6(12)-5

72-5

m<H= 67

I hope this helps!

What is the y-value of the vertex of the function f(x)=-(x-3)(x+11)
lutik1710 [3]

so, this is a quadratic equation, meaning two solutions, and we have a factored form of it, meaning you can get the solutions by simply zeroing out the f(x).

\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{0}=-(x-3)(x+11)\implies 0=(x-3)(x+11)\implies x= \begin{cases} 3\\ -11 \end{cases} \\\\\\ \boxed{-11}\stackrel{\textit{\large 7 units}}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}-4\stackrel{\textit{\large 7 units}}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}\boxed{3}

so the zeros/solutions are at x = 3 and x = -11, now, bearing in mind the vertex will be half-way between those two, checking the number line, that midpoint will be at x = -4, so the vertex is right there, well, what's f(x) when x = -4?

\bf f(-4)=-(-4-3)(-4+11)\implies f(-4)=7(7)\implies f(-4)=49 \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{vertex}{(-4~~,~~49)}~\hfill

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION!! Thanks
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

20% probability

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the area of all the figures inside the rectangle.

Area of triangle= 1/2 BH

So, 3x2=(6)

Area of Square= L^2

3x3=(9)

Area of rectangle= LxW

=60.

60+9+6= 75.

75 is the total area.

Now, lets find the added area of only the triangle and square.

9+6= 15

The probability will be 15/75=

Convert into percent form

= 20%

Hope this helps and please mark me brainliest :)
