The right answer is Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are;

2x+4y=3    Eqn 1

x+3y=13    Eqn 2

When we use subtraction-addition method, we make one of the variables same with opposite signs so that only one variable remains after addition or subtraction.

In the given problem, we will multiply Eqn 2 with "-2" so that the x variables become equal and then we can add both the equations and solve for y.

Therefore,

The first step will be to multiply the second equation by -2 to solve the linear system of equations.

The right answer is Option D.

If the sumof two numbers,n and m,is rational,which statement is true?
Nataly_w [17]

Option B:

Both n and m must be rational.

Solution:

Given information:

Sum of two numbers, n and m are rational.

<u>To find which statements are true:</u>

Option A: Both n and m may be rational but do not have to be.

It is not true because n and m given is rational.

It have to be rational.

Option B: Both n and m must be rational.

Yes, n and m must be rational then only the sum of numbers are rational.

It is true.

Option C: Both n and m must be irrational.

Sum of irrationals will be sometimes irrational and sometimes can't add.

So it is not true.

Option D: One number is rational and the other is irrational.

Rational and irrational cannot be add.

So it is not true.

Option B is true.

Both n and m must be rational.

Write an equation for the parabolla
pentagon [3]

well, is noteworthy that an x-intercept is when y = 0 or namely is a solution or root of the quadratic, so we know then that the x-intercepts or solutions are at (-1,0) and (3,0), that simply means that

\bf (\stackrel{x}{-1},\stackrel{y}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x}{3},\stackrel{y}{0})\qquad \begin{cases} x = -1\\ x+1=0\\ \cline{1-1} x=3\\ x-3=0 \end{cases}~\hfill \implies ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{equation of the parabola}}{y = a(x+1)(x-3)} \\\\\\ \textit{we also know that } \begin{cases} x = 1\\ y = -8 \end{cases}\implies \underline{-8}=a(\underline{1}+1)(\underline{1}-3)

\bf -8=a(2)(-2)\implies -8=-4a\implies \cfrac{-8}{-4}=a\implies \boxed{2=a} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ y=2(x+1)(x-3)\implies y=2(\stackrel{\mathbb{FOIL}}{x^2-2x-3})\implies y=2x^2-4x-6
