What is the solution to the system of equations below?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vanyuwa [196]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A. (–8, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)       y =  ½x + 6  

(2)       y = -¾x –  4     Set (1) = (2)  

½x +   6 = -¾x –  4     Multiply each side by 4

2x  + 24 = -3x – 16     Add 16 to each side

2x  + 40 = -3x              Subtract 2x from each side  

        40 = -5x              Divide each side by -5

(3)       x = -8                 Substitute (2) into (1)

          y = ½(-8)  +6

             = -4 + 6

             =  2

The solution to the system of equations is (-8 ,2).

You can see the graphs of the two functions in the figure below. The two lines intersect at (-8, 2).

Check:

2 = ½(-8) + 6     2 = -¾(-8) - 4

2 = -4 +6           2 = 6 - 4

2 = 2                 2 = 2

pychu [463]
The pattern is:
( a - b )² = a² - 2 a b + b² ( square of last term of binomial - the missing term)
x² - 2 · 8 · x + 8² = x² - 16 x + 64 = ( x - 8 )²
The missing term is: 64

A line has a slope of $-\frac{3}{7},$ and its $y$-intercept is $(0,18)$. What is its $x$-intercept?
puteri [66]

Answer:

(42, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the slope and y-intercept we can write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form which is y = mx + b; therefore, the equation is y = -3/7x + 18. To find the x-intercept, we just plug in y = 0 which becomes:

0 = -3/7x + 18

-18 = -3/7x

x = 42

the numbers 1,2,3,4, and 5 are written on slips of paper, and 2 slips are drawn at random one at a time without replacet. find t
Tresset [83]

Consider such events:

A - slip with number 3 is chosen;

B - the sum of numbers is 4.

You have to count Pr(A|B).

Use formula for conditional probability:

Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(B)}.

1. The event A\cap B consists in selecting two slips, first is 3 and second should be 1, because the sum is 4. The number of favorable outcomes is exactly 1 and the number of all possible outcomes is 5·4=20 (you have 5 ways to select 1st slip and 4 ways to select 2nd slip). Then the probability of event A\cap B is

Pr(A\cap B)=\dfrac{1}{20}.

2. The event B consists in selecting two slips with the sum 4. The number of favorable outcomes is exactly 2 (1st slip 3 and 2nd slip 1 or 1st slip 1 and 2nd slip 3) and the number of all possible outcomes is 5·4=20 (you have 5 ways to select 1st slip and 4 ways to select 2nd slip). Then the probability of event B is

Pr(B)=\dfrac{2}{20}=\dfrac{1}{10}.

3. Then

Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{\frac{1}{20} }{\frac{1}{10} }=\dfrac{1}{2}.

Answer: \dfrac{1}{2}.

Tinas rent will increase from $595 this year to $708 next year what is the percent change to the nearest percent
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The answer rounded to the nearest percent is 19%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for percent change is this:

((y2 - y1) / y1)*100

Let y1 be the first value (595) and let y2 be the second (708).

((702 - 595) / 595)*100

702 - 595 is 107 and 107/595 is approximately 0.188, multiplied by 100 is 18.8, which is rounded to 19%.

That is our solution.
