Answer:

(x, y ) = (- 2, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

7x - 2y = - 20 → (1)

9x + 4y = - 6 → (2)

multiply (1) by 2 making the coefficients of y equal and opposite

14x - 4y = - 40 → (3)

add (2) and (3) term by term

(9x + 14x ) + (4y - 4y ) = (- 6 - 40 )

23x = - 46 ( divide both sides by 23 )

x = - 2

substitute x = - 2 into either (1) or (2) for y

(2) - 18 + 4y = - 6 ( add 18 to both sides )

4y = 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 3

solution is (- 2, 3 )

HACTEHA [7]

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{3}{x-4}=\dfrac{6}{x-5}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3(x-5)=6(x-4)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3x-15=6x-24

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3x-6x=-24+15

\\ \sf\longmapsto -3x=-9

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{-9}{-3}

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=3

\\ \sf\longmapsto KM=3+6=9

How would i approximate each irrational square root number to the nearest 0.05? 34, 82, 45, 104, -71, and -19
Digiron [165]

Using a calculator or a pencil, find each square root, including
three (3) decimal places.  A negative number has no real square
roots, so skip '-71' and '-19'.

For each square root . . .

-- If the digits in the 2nd and 3rd decimal place are 00 through 24, then
make the 2nd decimal place a '0' and discard the rest.

-- If the digits in the 2nd and 3rd decimal place are 25 through 74, then
make the 2nd decimal place a '5' and discard the rest.

-- If the digits in the 2nd and 3rd decimal place are 75 through 99, then
increase the 1st decimal place by 1, make the 2nd decimal place a '0',
and discard the rest.

This is the answer because:

Plz help me on dis math
vlabodo [156]
The first answer is B: 2 1/2

4 5/6 is put there twice except the last one is subtracting so you can put, 4 5/6 - 4 5/6 = 0 therefore the only number left is 2 1/2

the second one I really don't know sorry:(

The third answer is C because the cases come in 24. But they didn't tell you how many case she brought so the variable has to be by 24 and they took 43 which is the subtracting factor. So the answer is C.

And I also don't know the last one again sorry:(

A student wants to save at least $5000 for college. She begins with a savings account set up by her parents containing $2,500. E
Tamiku [17]

Answer: She deposits 50 dollars per month right? But as known her parents deposited her 2,500. So, it will take her 50 months to complete the amount of  5000 dollars needed for college.

Step-by-step explanation: Im not good with equations but here  we go.

First: AS we know the account already had 2,500, and every month she deposits 50$.

What we can do is to divide 2,500 divided by 50 which will be 50.
