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

Why is the remainder always less than the divisor
anastassius [24]
The remainder is always less than the divisor because if the remainder was more than the divisor then you would have a totally different answer. If the remainder was more than the divisor than you know your answers wrong.

Ln ( a^(-4) / b^1  c^1 ) =
= ln a ^(-4) - ( ln b + ln c ) =
= - 4 ln a - ln b - ln c =
= - 4 * 2 - 3 - 5 =

Nick is a great baby sitter.He makes $9 an hour.Julia is an even better babysitter She makes $12 an hour.Julia works 6 hours eac
serg [7]

Answer:

Nick has to work 8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Nick makes 9   works x

Julia makes 12  works 6

first find out how much Julia makes you can do that by multiplying 12 by 6 witch = 72

and we know we are trying to find how many hours Nick needs to work to equal Julia so we knew they are equal

so we have 9X=72

we just have to solve...

divide 72 by 9

leaving use with X=8
