Answer:
A) (-4,-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
a line graphed with those coordinates would have a slope of -3/12, or -1/4.
Following that slope, you would go through (-4,-1). So that is the point collinear with the given points.
I'd suggest using "elimination by addition and subtraction" here, altho' there are other approaches (such as matrices, substitution, etc.).
Note that if you add the 3rd equation to the second, the x terms cancel out, and you are left with the system
- y + 3z = -2
y + z = -2
-----------------
4z = -4, so z = -1.
Next, multiply the 3rd equation by 2: You'll get -2x + 2y + 2z = -2.
Add this result to the first equation. The 2x terms will cancel, leaving you with the system
2y + 2z = -2
y + z = 4
This would be a good time to subst. -1 for z. We then get:
-2y - 2 = -2. Then y must be 0. y = 0.
Now subst. -1 for z and 0 for y in any of the original equations.
For example, x - (-1) + 3(0) = -2, so x + 1 = -2, or x = -3.
Then a tentative solution is (-3, -1, 0).
It's very important that you ensure that this satisfies all 3 of the originale quations.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The first blank is 17
2nd blank is 85
3rd blank is 15
wat happened is
C=paid-costofpizzas
paid=100
costofpizzas=number of pizzas times cost per pizza
costofpizzas=5 times 17
so
C=100-5 times 17
C=100-85
C=15
change=$15
