Answer:  The correct answer is:  [D]:  " No solution " .

______________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following system of equations:

   2x − 3y = 10 ;

     -4x + 6y  =  -20 ;

_______________________________________

  Let us take the second equation:

   -4x + 6y  =  -20 ;

     and multiply each side by "-1 " ; to get rid of the "negative numbers" ; and to rewrite the equation without the "negative numbers" :    

       - 1 * { - 4x + 6y }  =  -1 * (-20} ;

  to get:

       4x − 6y = -20 ;

Now, let us simply this equation further; by divide each side of the equation by "2" ;

       (4x − 6y) / 2  =  (-20) / 2 ;

          → [ (4x) / 2 ]    −  [ (6y) / 2 ]  =  -10 ;

   to get:   2x  −  3y  = -10 ;

Then we have: 2x − 3y = 10 ;  

                    <u>Note</u>:    10 ≠ -10 .

_______________________________________

So the answer is: [D]: " No solution."

Hope this explanation helps you!  Best wishes!

Write an equation for the line that passes through the points (-10, 4) and (-16, 7).
Lena [83]
Y= -1/2x -1

first use the formula y2-y1/ x2-x1
then plug in (-10, 4) and (-16, 7) into the formula so it should look like 7-4/ -16 +10
that should simplify down to -1/2
Next plug one of the points into the new formula y=-1/2x +b to find B

If I multiply any number by 1 whole, my product will be:
marusya05 [52]

Let a = any number

So, 1 times a = a.

In other words, any number times 1 = any number.

Two samples:

1. 45 x 1 = 45

2. -567 x 1 = -567

Is the following statement always, sometimes, or never true? “The supplement of an acute angle is an obtuse angle.” Explain your
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Always

Step-by-step explanation:

An acute angle is an angle that is less than 90. Supplementary angles add up to 180.

So 180-89= 91

An obtuse angle is any angle that is greater than 90.

Here's a link to a better explanation.
