Multiply all terms in the first equation by 2 and all terms in the second by 3.
You should obtain:
6x + 16y = 34
-6x + 27y = 9
------------------
43y =43, and so y = 1. Subbing 1 for y in the first eq'n, we get
3x + 8(1) = 17, or 3x = 9, or x = 3.
The solution is (3, 1).
First step: x= ± √ 121
Second step and correct answer: x= ± 11
Because: x^2 = x= ± √
Divide top and bottom by any number that's fits into both of them keep doing that until it's not possible Hope that helped Have a good day! :-)
The key with these problems is to find which function has the closest y-intercept to the graph, and then try to figure out which one best approximates the slope.
Here are our options:
<span>A. y = x + 4
B. y = 4x + 9
C. y = x + 18
D. y = 3x + 22
Which has the closest approximation of the y-intercept?
The y-intercept is not directly given, but we can assume it is less than 10.
That leaves us with A and B.
Which has the closest approximation of the slope?
The graph, on average, seems to move up about 60 and over about 15.
Slope = rise/run = 60/15 = 4. Although the slope isn't exactly 4, it's much closer to 4 than 1, which is slope for option A.
Therefore, the answer is
B) y= 4x + 9
