Determine whether the ordered pair (1, 1) is a solution of the inequality. y ≤ -3x+1

solong [7]

Answer: $\textsf{(1, 1) is NOT a solution of the inequality}$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given: $y \le-3x + 1$

Find: $\textsf{Determine if (1, 1) is a solution of the inequality}$

Solution: In order to determine if (1, 1) is a solution we need to plug in 1 for the x values and 1 for the y values and see if the equation evaluated to true.

Plug in the values

$y \le-3x + 1$

$1 \le-3(1) + 1$

Simplify

$1 \le-3 + 1$

$1 \le-2$

As we can see the expression states that 1 is less than or equal to -2 which is false therefore (1, 1) is NOT a solution of the inequality.

Find the solution of this system of equations. separate the x and y values. x=2+y -6x-6y=-12

Shkiper50 [21]

{x=2+y
{-6x-6y=-12

-6(2+y) -6y = -12
-12 - 6y - 6y = -12
-12y = -12 + 12
-12y = 0
y = 0

x = 2 + y = 2 + 0 = 2

Answer: x=2, y=0

What is the GCF of -2xy and -9y

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

$- y(2x + 9)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The GCF doesn't have to be a number. In this case, it is -y because both the -2xy and -9y share it. It's also easier when you take out a negative. Once you take the GCF out, your new expression should be:

$- y(2x + 9)$
