Answer:

(-1, 10/3)

x = -1

y = 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a system, one of the methods you can use is <u>elimination</u>. To use elimination, you need <u>a variable to have the same coefficient in BOTH equations</u>. Since both equations have "3y", with the same coefficient (3), we can use this method.

We want to eliminate a variable by cancelling it out. Since positive 3y PLUS negative 3y is 0, the variable in eliminated. ADD each of the terms in the equations together.

.        x + 3y = 9

<u>+    3x – 3y = -13</u>

.     4x – 0y = -4           3y - 3y = 0        

.             4x = -4            Divide both sides by 4 to isolate 'x'

.               x = -1              Solved for the x-coordinate

Since we know one variable, 'x', we can easily find the other, 'y'. Substitute 'x' with -1 in any of the equations. Then, isolate 'x'.

x + 3y = 9

(-1) + 3y = 9

-1 + 1 + 3y = 9 + 1      Add 1 to both sides to cancel out left side.

3y = 9 + 1          Add on the right side (9 + 1 = 10)

3y = 10              Divide both sides by 3 to isolate 'y'

y = 10/3             Solved for the y-coordinate

Put the 'x' and 'y' coordinates together in an ordered pair, which you write as (x, y).

The solution to the system is (-1, 10/3).

I chose circle is closed and graph is shaded to the left of the circle and it said that was wrong. Please help, thank you
Tems11 [23]
The circle is closed and the graph is shaded to the right also there’s a negative on the x, you have to get rid of it first by dividing by -1 and then you switch direction of the less than or equal to greater than or equal because you divided by negative

Which of the equations below could be the equation of this parabola?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Option B: y = -\frac{1}{2} x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabola has its concavity downwards, so we need a function in the model:

y = ax^2 + bx + c

With a negative value of 'a'

The vertex is (0,0), so we have that:

0 = 0a + 0b + c

c = 0

The x-coordinate of the vertex is given by the equation:

x\_vertex = -b/2a

-b/2a = 0

b = 0

So we have a function in the model:

y = ax^2

With a < 0

The only option with this format is B:

y = -\frac{1}{2} x^2

You have $814 that you want to share equally between 5 charities.
kifflom [539]

Answer:

give each charity $60

Step-by-step explanation:

$814 to divide equally to 5 charities.

From 814  if we give   -100,  -100, -100, -100, -100, we have left 314 to split in 5

the most useful next step is to give each charity $60

From $814  if we give   -100, -100, -100, -100, -100

                                         -60, -60, -60, -60, -60  

we have left now:

814 -5*100 -5*60 = 814-500-300 = $14 left to split among the 5 charity.

You finish washing 3/4 of your windows in an hour and a half. At that rate, how much longer will it take you to finish washing a
Marysya12 [62]
It takes you 90 minutes to wash 3/4 of your windows

Multiply both numbers by 4.

It takes you 360 minutes to wash 3 of your windows.

Divide both numbers by 3.

It takes you 120 minutes to wash 1 of your windows.

120 minutes = 2 hours.

It will take you 2 hours to wash all the windows.
