Answer:

The solution is: (2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

I have the following system of equations

12x - y = 25

9x + y =17

Note that if we add both equations, the variable y is "eliminated".

So add the first equation to the second and solve for the variable x

12x - y = 25

9x + y =17

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

21x=42

x=\frac{42}{21}\\\\x=2

Now substitute the value of x in any of the two equations and solve for the variable y

9(2) + y =17

18 + y =17

y =17-18

y =-1

The solution is: (2, -1)

Answer:

the ordered pair is (2,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the system of equations using elimination method

12x - y = 25     eq(1)

9x + y = 17      eq(2)

Adding eq(1) and eq(2)

12x - y = 25

9x + y = 17

___________

21x = 42

x = 42/21

x= 2

Now, putting value of x in equation 1

12x - y = 25

12(2) -y = 25

24 -y = 25

Adding -24 on both sides

24 -y-24 = 25-24

-y = 25-24

-y = 1

Multiply both sides by -1

y = -1

the value of x = 2 and y = -1

So, the ordered pair is (2,-1)

The absolute value of x is simply x and followed by the expression.

X + 1 + x + 1 <_ 2

2x + 2 <_ 2

2x <_ 0

X <_ 0

Basically all values that follow this inequality will most likely hold true.

For instance. -1.

-1 + 1 = 0
Absolute value of -2 = 2.

2 is equal to 2. This expression holds true.

Ian picked 5 times as many berries as Michelle.Joe picked 7 times as many berries Michelle.Together they picked 208 berries.How
Rasek [7]
Michelle: x
Ian: 5x
Joe: 7x
Michelle + Ian + Joe = 208 berries
x + 5x + 7x = 208
Combine like terms: 13x = 208
Divide both sides by 13: x = 16
Joe = 7x = 7*16=112
Joe picked 112 berries
