Answer: Option C) Raj forgot the negative when substituting -15+9x for y.


Solution:

(1) 9x-y=15

(2) 2x+8y=28

Isolating y in the first equation. Subtracting 9x both sides of the equation:

(1) 9x-y-9x=15-9x

Subtracting:

(1) -y=15-9x

Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1:

(1) (-1)(-y)=(-1)(15-9x)

(1) y=-15+9x

Then Raj found the value of y. It's not option D.

Substitutng y by -15+9x in the second equation:

(2) 2x+8(-15+9x)=28

Then option C) is the answer: Raj forgot the negative when substituting -15+9x for y.

Eliminating the parentheses applying the distributive property in the multiplication:

(2) 2x-120+72x=28

Adding similar terms:

(2) 74x-120=28

Solving for x. Adding 120 both sides of the equation:

(2) 74x-120+120=28+120

Adding:

(2) 74x=148

Dividing both sides of the equation by 74:

(2) 74x/74=148/74

Dividing:

(2) x=2

Solving for y: Replacing x by 2 in the first equation:

(1) y=-15+9x

(1) y=-15+9(2)

Multiplying:

(1) y=-15+18

Subtracting:

(1) y=3

What is the greatest common factor of 36x^3 and 8x
marusya05 [52]
Factor 36x^3 = (2)(2)(3)(3)(x)(x)(x)
Factor 8x =       (2)(2)(2)(x)

Take what they have in common which is (2)(2)(x) and multiply and it will be 4x.

How many solutions does the system have? y = -2x-4 \\\\ y = 3x+3
lakkis [162]

Answer:

The system has one solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two equations:

y = -2x - 4

y = 3x + 3

Equalling them:

y = y

-2x - 4 = 3x + 3

5x = -7

x = -\frac{7}{5}

And

y = 3x + 3 = 3(-\frac{7}{5}) + 3 = \frac{-21}{5} + 3 = \frac{-21}{5} + \frac{15}{5} = -\frac{6}{5}

Replacing in the other equation we should get the same result.

y = -2x - 4 = -2(-\frac{7}{5}) - 4 = \frac{14}[5} - 4 = \frac{14}{4} - \frac{20}{5} = -\frac{6}{5}

So the system has one solution.

Alexei wants to hang a mirror in his boat, and put a frame around it. The mirror and frame must have an area of 19.25 square fee
Drupady [299]
<span>The first part is already in squared terms. "19.25 sq ft" Taking the measurements for the mirror 3ft and 5ft, you'd get: "15 sq ft." Subtract that answer from the previous number to get "4.25 sq ft.

Hope this helps out a little lol :)</span>

In 25 words or fewer, compare the mathematical and algebraic<br><br> expressions.
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

use own words

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression is just a mathematical phrase. In this tutorial, you'll learn about two popular types of expressions: numerical and algebraic expressions. A numerical expression contains numbers and operations. An algebraic expression is almost exactly the same except it also contains variables.

in mathematics, an algebraic expression is an expression built up from integer constants, variables, and the algebraic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and exponentiation by an exponent that is a rational number)
