Answer:  option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can apply the elimination method:

- Multiply the first equation by -7 and the second equation by 3.

- Add both equations to cancel out the variable y.

- Solve for x

\left \{ {{(-7)9x+3y=(-39)(-7)} \atop {(3)(4x+7y)=(-57)(3)}} \right.\\\\\left \{ {{-63x-21y=273} \atop {12x+21y=-171}} \right.\\-------\\-51x=102\\x=-2

- Substitute x=-2 into any of the original equations ans solve for y. Then:

9(-2)+3y=-39\\-18+3y=-39\\3y=-21\\y=-7

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

B.

x=-2\\y=-7

<h2>Why?</h2>

Solving the system of equations by elimination, we have:

\left \{ {{9x+3y=-39} \atop {4x+7y=-57}} \right.

Then, multiplying the second equation by -\frac{9}{4}

So,

\left \{ {{9x+3y=-39} \atop {4x*(-\frac{9}{4}) +7y*(-\frac{9}{4}) =-57*(-\frac{9}{4})}} \right\\\\\left \{ {{9x+3y=-39} \atop {-9x-\frac{63}{4}y=\frac{513}{4} }} \right\\\\-\frac{51}{4}y=\frac{357}{4}\\\\y=\frac{357}{4}*(-\frac{4}{51})=-\frac{1428}{204}=-7

Then, substituting y=-7 into the first equation (also, we could substitute it into the first equation) we have:

9x+3(-7)=-39\\9x-21=-39\\9x=-39+21\\9x=-18\\x=\frac{-18}{9}=-2

So, the solutions for the system of equations are:

x=-2\\y=-7

Have a nice day!

The population in a small city increased from 1250 people to 2780 people. What is the percent of increase in the number of peopl
Zarrin [17]
<h3>Answer: Choice B) 122%</h3>

==========================================

Work Shown:

A = 1250 is the initial amount

B = 2780 is the new amount

C = percent change = unknown for now

The formula to use is

C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100

to calculate the percent change.

Basically we calculate the change (B-A) first and then divide that over the original amount A to compute the decimal form of the answer, which is then converted over to percentage form. The "100" tacked on at the end is what converts from decimal to percent form.

---------

C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100

C = [ (2780 - 1250)/1250 ] * 100

C = (1530/1250)*100

C = 1.224 * 100

C = 122.4%

C = 122%

---------

The positive C value indicates we have a percent increase. If C were negative, then we'd have a percent decrease.

Any help plzzz I’ll appreciate it so much thank u

Answer:

  5√5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula:

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  d = √((-7-(-2))² +(-7-3)²) = √((-5)² +(-10)²) = √(25 +100)

  d = √125 = √(25·5)

  d = 5√5 . . . . distance between the points
