-2x – 9y = 11 x – 3y = 17

1 answer:

6 0

-2x-9y=11x-3y
-2x+2x-9y=11x+2x-3y
-9y=13x-3y
-9y+3y=13x-3y+3y
-6y=13x
y=-13x/6

Plug -13x/6 in for y and solve for x using one of the equations
11x-3(-13x/6)=17
11x+13x/2=17
35x/2=17
35x=34
x=34/35

Plug 34/35 in for x to solve for y now
y=(-13(34/35))/6
y=-221/105

x=34/35 y=-221/105
Now when you plug in those numbers for x and y you get 17 for both equations.

Hope I didn't mess up for your sake.

Which of the following illustrates the truth value of the given conditional statement?

bazaltina [42]

Given p: 10 < 7, clearly p is false and ~p is true. Also, given q: 10 < 5, clearly q is false and ~q is true.

Thus, the truth value of the conditional statement ~p → ~q is <span>T T → T.</span>

Determine whether this statement is true or false. if two lines have the same slope, their equations describe the same line.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

When you say "slope", Im guessing your referring to the gradient (the steepness of the line).

If two lines have the same gradient their equations won't usually describe the same line because their 'y intercepts' will be different (the point in which the line crosses the y axis)
