12x - 8y = -12
6x + 4y = -30
Multiply the 2nd equation by 2, to make the Y coefficients opposite:
6x + 4y = -30 x 2 = 12x + 8y = -60
Now add the two equations:
12x -8y = -12 + 12x +8y = -60
= 24x = -72
Divide bothe sides by 24 to solve for x:
x = -72/24
x = -3
Now replace x with -3 in the first equation to solve for y:
12(-3) - 8y = -12
-36 - 8y = -12
Add 36 to each side:
-8y = 24
Divide both sides by -8 to solve for y:
y = 24 / -8
y = -3
X = -3 and y = -3
(-3,-3)
Well we can put that word problem into a equation so, 8+x/4=5. Now what I would do is move the 8 to the other side, and since it moved to the other side it becomes a -8 so now we have x/4 = -3. Now I would multiply both side by 4 to get x = -12
Answer= X = -12
I can't show you the square root but this is the answer simplified. 4 square roots of 6
Answer:
Option C.The decrease in the value of the motorcycle, which is 9%
Step-by-step explanation:
we have a exponential function of the form
where
a is the initial value
b represents growth or decay factor
If b >1 then it is an exponential growth
if 0<b<1 then it is an exponential decay
In this problem
a=$19,000
b=0.91 -----> it is exponential decay factor
Find the rate of decrease r
b=(1-r)
substitute
0.91=1-r
r=1-0.91=0.09
Convert to percentage
0.09*100=9%
therefore
0.91 represent the decrease in the value of the motorcycle, which is 9%
