Use elimination to find the solution to the system of equations.

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!

Which of the following describes the end behavior over the domain of the square root function graphed above? Please HELP!!!!!!!!

Short Answer A
Comment

It's a good thing that the domain is confined or the graph is. That function is undefined if x < - 3 

At exactly x = - 3, f(x) = 0 and that's your starting point.

So look what happens to this graph. If x = 0, f(0) =  y = 3. So we are starting to see that as x get's larger so does f(x). The graph tells us that x = 0 is bigger than x = - 3.

Let's keep on plugging things in.
As x increases to 5, f(5) = 5. x = 5 is larger than x = 0, and f(5) > 3.

One more and then we'll start drawing conclusions. If x = 9 then f(9) = y =  6. 
x = 9 is larger than x = 5. f(9) = 6 is just larger than f(5) which is 5

OK I think we should be ready to look at answers. There's nothing there that makes the answer anything but a. Let's find out what the problem is with the rest of the choices.

B
The problem with B is that as x increases, f(x) does not decrease. We didn't find one example of that. So B is wrong.

C
C has exactly the same problem as B. 

D
The second statement in D is incorrect. As x increases f(x) never decreases. No example showed that.

The answer is A <<<< Answer.

Andy Dixon bought 3 paintbrushes for $1.75 each and 7 tubes of oil paint for $2.49 each.how much did he spend in all?
AnnZ [28]
The answer would be $22.68!

If Andy bought 3 paintbrushes for $1.75 each, then we just multiply how much they cost by the number that the bought.

1.75 x 3 = 5.25

If Andy bought 7 tubes of oil paint, we just do the same thing we did in the first step! Multiply how much they cost by the number that the bought.

2.49 x 7 =
