7x - 5y = 22 7x - 9y = 6 What's y?

So you need to first cancel out x so multiply -1 to one of the equations i'm gong to pick the second one so now it is 7x-5y=22 and -7x+9y=-6 then add so 4y=16 so y=4

You can do this by taking away the second equation from the first to get rid of the x terms so:

7x - 7x = 0
-5y - -9y = - 5y + 9y = 4y
22-6 = 16

So you are left with the equation:
4y = 16

Divide both sides by 4 to find y
y = 4

Solving the following system using the elimination of substitution method. 5a+3b=11 -2a+3=b

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

a = -2

b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

5a+3b=11

-2a+3=b

substitute for b:

5a + 3(-2a + 3) = 11

5a -6a + 9 = 11

-a = 2

a = -2

b = 7

Which gives the correct values for points A, B, C, and D?

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is: A

Step-by-step explanation:

Points on a Numeric Line

The numeric line shown in the figure has four points A, B, C, and D. It's clear that each marked division of the line has a value of 1/4 units and all four points are below the reference zero, thus all are negative.

Point A is clearly on the -2 mark, thus

A=-2

Point B is one mark above A, thus it's located at:

$B=-2+\frac{1}{4}=-\frac{7}{4}=-1\frac{3}{4}$
