Hey there!

To start, first solve the equation of -2x + 3y =4 for the value of x since the coefficients appear to be smaller and easier to work with than the equation 4x- 6y= 9.

To solve -2x+3y=4 for x, first subtract both sides by 3y to isolate -2x:
-2x+3y=4
-2x=-3y+4

Now, divide both sides by -2 to isolate or solve for the x variable:
-2x=-3y+4
x=3/2y-2

Now that you have x set equal to the expression 3/2y-2, substitute this value for x in the equation 4x-6y=9:
x=3/2y-2
4x-6y=9
4(3/2y-2)-6y=9

Now, simplify this expression and combine your like terms: 
4(3/2y-2)-6y=9
(4*3/2y)+(4*-2)-6y=9
6y-8-6y=9
-8=9

Because you end up in an untrue mathematical statement, your answer would be that there are no real solutions for this system. 

Hope this helps and have a marvelous day! :)

4x-6y=9
2x+3y=4

4x=9+6y
X=9/4+6y/4
2(9/4+6y/4)+3y=4
18/4+12y/4+3y=4
9/2+6y=4
6y=8/2- 9/2
6y= -1/2
y= -1/12 x= 17/8

Can someone please help me figure out what’s 18 3/4 as a decimal
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

18.75

Step-by-step explanation:

If you covert this into a mixed fraction it would be 75/4 (4*18 is 72 then add the 3 in the numerator) then divide, 75/4 = 18.75 (sorry if explanation is bad)

The ratio of two numbers is 4:5 if the larger number is 300 what is the smaller number​
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The smaller number is 240.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says that the larger number is 300, so 5 has to be 300.

4:5

?:300

You can use cross-multiplication or find the scale factor to find the answer.

Cross-multiplication:

4 × 300 ÷ 5 = 240

Finding the scale factor:

300 ÷ 5 = 60

4 × 60 = 240

The smaller number is 240.

Suppose that each of 935 smokers received a nicotine patch, which delivers nicotine to the bloodstream but at a much slower rate
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

26.2% of smokers,when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have that:

935 smokers received the treatment(nicotine patch).

After 6 months, 245 of them were not smoking.

Assuming it is reasonable to regard this sample as representative of all smokers, estimate the percentage of all smokers who, when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.

This percentage is 245/935 = 0.2620.

26% of smokers,when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.
