<span><span><span>3<span>(<span><span><span>‌<span><span>−2/</span>5</span></span>‌y</span>+<span><span>‌<span>6/5</span></span>‌</span></span>)</span></span>+<span><span>‌<span>12/5</span></span>‌y </span></span>=4

simplify

</span><span><span><span><span>‌<span>6/5</span></span>‌y</span>+<span><span>‌<span>18/5</span></span>‌ </span></span>=4

</span>Add (-18)/5 to both sides

<span><span><span>‌<span>6/5</span></span>‌y</span>=<span>‌<span>2/<span>5

divide both sides by 6/5

y = 1/3

substitute 1/3 for y in x = -2/5y +6/5 to solve for x

x = -2/5(1/3) +6/5

x = 16/15

so x = 16/15 and y = 1/3
 now replace both x and Y in each of the original equations to check the answers:

5(16/15) +2(1/3) =  5 1/3 + 2/3 = 6  true

3(16/15) - -12/5(1/3) = 4 true
 so they are parallel

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The domain is x\geq 7

The range is y\geq 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y=\sqrt{x-7} +1

<em>Find the domain</em>

Remember that

The domain of a function is the set of all possible values of x

we know that the radicand of the function must be greater than or equal to zero

so

x-7\geq 0

solve for x

x\geq 7

therefore

The domain is x\geq 7

<em>Find the range</em>

Remember that

The range of a function is the complete set of all possible resulting values of y, after we have substituted the domain.

For x=7

The value of y is equal to

y=\sqrt{7-7} +1=1

so

The solution for y is the interval [1,∞)

therefore

The range is y\geq 1
