Answer:

Solution point is (-1,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the value of y in the first equation into the second equation.

2x + 5(3x - 5) = - 42 Remove the brackets on the left
2x + 15x - 25 = - 42 Combine like terms on the left
17x - 25 = - 42 Add 25 to both sides
17x - 25 + 25 = - 42 + 25 Do the addition
17x = - 17 Divide by 17
17x/17 = -17/17 Do the division
x = - 1

=======

Solve for y

y = 3x - 6
x = -1
y = 3(-1) - 6
y = -3 - 6
y = - 9

Patrick pays $10 per month for recycling. He expects the cost to increase 90¢ every 3 years. What is the slope that represents h

Leokris [45]

If the cost increases $0.90 every three years , then the cost increases $0.30 per year. the slope will be 0.3/1 or just 0.3

Which of the following are possible values of r?<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%7Br%7D%5E%7B2%20%7D%20%20%3D%20%20%5Cf

Answer:

$r=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}$ and $r=-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

when you solve for r in the given equation, you need to apply the square root property, which gives positive and negative answers (both should therefore be considered):

$r^2=\frac{3}{16} \\r=+/-\sqrt{\frac{3}{16}} \\r=+/-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}$

then you need to include these two possible solutions:

$r=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}$ and $r=-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}$
