Answer:

x = 5 , y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{y = (7 x)/5 - 5 | (equation 1)

{y = (3 x)/5 - 1 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{-(7 x)/5 + y = -5 | (equation 1)

{-(3 x)/5 + y = -1 | (equation 2)

Subtract 3/7 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{-(7 x)/5 + y = -5 | (equation 1)

{0 x+(4 y)/7 = 8/7 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 1 by 5:

{-(7 x) + 5 y = -25 | (equation 1)

{0 x+(4 y)/7 = 8/7 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 7/4:

{-(7 x) + 5 y = -25 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 2 | (equation 2)

Subtract 5 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{-(7 x)+0 y = -35 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 2 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by -7:

{x+0 y = 5 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 2 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 5 , y = 2

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

- 2 - 3i

Step-by-step explanation:

given a complex number a + bi

then the conjugate is a - bi

The real part a remains unchanged while the sign of the imaginary part is reversed.

the conjugate of - 2 + 3i is - 2 - 3i

Need help quickly its hard

kaheart [24]

Answer:

1-3x+8y

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply y and 2

Multiply y and 1

The y just gets copied along.

2*y evaluates to 2y

Multiply x and 4

Multiply x and 1

The x just gets copied along.

The answer is x

4*x evaluates to 4x

2*y-4*x evaluates to 2y-4x

The answer is 2y-4x+8

2*y-4*x+8 evaluates to 2y-4x+8

Multiply y and 6

Multiply y and 1

The y just gets copied along.

The answer is y

6*y evaluates to 6y

2y + 6y = 8y

The answer is 8y-4x+8

2*y-4*x+8+6*y evaluates to 8y-4x+8

-4x + x = -3x

The answer is -3x+8y+8

2*y-4*x+8+6*y+x evaluates to -3x+8y+8

8 - 7 = 1

The answer is 1-3x+8y

2*y-4*x+8+6*y+x-7 evaluates to 1-3x+8y

Damm [24]

Find the percentage of ratio to weight.

180/72 = 2.5

So 2.5 Earth Pounds = 1 Mars Pound

16*2.5 = 40 Pounds the rock weighs on earth.

A line includes the points (9, -7) and (-6, -2). What is its equation in slope-intercept form?

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

$y=\frac{-1}{3}x-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step 1: Define

Point (9, -7)

Point (-6, -2)

Step 2: Find slope m

$m=\frac{-2-(-7)}{-6-9}$

$m=\frac{-2+7}{-15}$

$m=\frac{5}{-15}$

$m=\frac{-1}{3}$

$y=\frac{-1}{3}x+b$

Step 3: Find y-intercept b

$-7=\frac{-1}{3}(9)+b$

$-7=-3+b$

$-4=b$

Step 4: Write linear equation in slope-intercept form

$y=\frac{-1}{3}x-4$
