Here are Janet's steps for solving the system below by eliminating x.

1 answer:

7 0

2x + 3y = -1.....(5)
5x + 8y = 0.....(-2)
-----------------------
10x + 15y = -5
-10x - 16y = 0
-----------------------add
-y = -5
y = 5 <=====this is where Janet messed up

2x + 3y = -1
2x + 3(5) = -1
2x + 15 = -1
2x = -1-15
2x = -16
x = -16/2
x = - 8

solution is : (-8,5)

Priya bought these items at the grocery store. Find each unit price. A. 12 eggs for $3. How much is the cost per egg? B. 3 pound

Ratling [72]

Answer: A. Cost per egg = $4 .

B. Cost per pound = $ 2.5

C. Cost per roll = $ 0.5

D. Cost per apple = $0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: cost per item = (total cost) ÷ (number of items)

A. 12 eggs for $3.

Cost per egg = $ (12÷3) = $4

So, Cost per egg = $4 .

B. 3 pounds of peanuts for $7.50

Cost per pound of peanuts = $ (7.50 ÷ 3)= $ 2.5

So, Cost per pound = $ 2.5

C. 4 rolls of toilet paper for $2.

Cost per roll = $ (2 ÷4 ) = $ 0.5

So, Cost per roll = $ 0.5

D. 10 apples for $3.50.

Cost per apple = $ (3.50 ÷ 10)= $ 0.35

So, Cost per apple = $0.35

Which of the following is the point and slope of the equation y - 11 = 3(x + 13)?

4vir4ik [10]

The answer is A.

The equation simplifies to y=3x+50.
So, C is already not an option.

Now we just plug in points to see if the point works for the equation.

A-11=3(-13)+50
11=-39+50

11=11

Thus, this point falls on the line of this equation and is a point.

So, the answer is A.

I hope this helps!

Factor completely 50a2b5 − 35a4b3 + 5a3b4

Andreyy89

The complete factorisation of 50a²b⁵ − 35a⁴b³ + 5a³b⁴ is 5a²b³(10b² - 7a² + ab)

<h3>How to factorise?</h3>

Factorisation is the process of writing an expression as a product of two or more common factors.

The expression is written as a product of several factor.

Therefore,

50a²b⁵ − 35a⁴b³ + 5a³b⁴

Hence, the complete factorisation is as follows;
