C.
Y=mx + b is the formula (M being slope, and B being the y intercept) always start by going up or down by what the y-intercept number is, if it’s -9 you go down the y axis 9 numbers from the origin (0,0) and slope (m) is always better put in a fraction-5x is better put in -5/1x
Think of the top number of the fraction as ‘up/down’ and the bottom number as ‘over’ if the top number is negative you will go down from the y-intercept number that many times, the bottom number is how many spots you go over from that number , it is always to the right.
.7 repeating would make it 7/9
Steps:
1. Multiply the first line by 3 and the second by 2
3(3x + 2y= 4)
2(8x -3y=-6)
2. New lines are
9x + 6y= 12
16x + -6y=-12
3. Now add/subtract them
25x + 0= 0
25x=0
4. Divide by 25
X=0
5. To find y, substitute the 0 in the x in one of the equations
9x + 6y= 12
9(0) + 6y= 12
6y= 12
6. Divide by 6, your Y=2
7. X=0, Y=2
Answer:
A baby that weighed 6 1/4 pounds at birth now weighs 8 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok im not sure the answer yet so ima work on it at the same time while im explaining it. (The answer will probably be near the end)
We can use the elimination method to eliminate y out. To do that we multiply the first equation by 3.
6x+3y=-12
Now just subtract it from the other equation.
6x+3y=-12
5x+3y=-6
***x=-6***
Usually after doing the elimination method you will have to solve for x but in this case its already solved for you. If you want to find y now you just take the first equation and fill x with -6 and solve for y.
2(-6)+y=-4
-12+y=-4
y=8
