Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct model to use for a proportional relationship is y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

If y = 16 when x = -4, then this model becomes 16 = k(-4).  Solving for k, we get k = -16/4, or k = -4.

Thus, the specific formula to use here is y = -4x.

Now if y = 4, 4 = -4x, and x must therefore be x = -1.

wel

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the y in the 1st equation with the 2nd equation.

7x + 10(2x + 9) = 36

7x + 20x + 90 = 36

27x + 90 = 36

3x + 10 = 4

3x = -6

x = -2

So now we can find y.

y = 2x + 9 = 2(-2) + 9 = (-4) + 9 = 5.

So x = -2, y = 5.

Which of the following is the difference of two squares
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

A difference of squares has the general form

a² - b²

where the terms on either side of the subtraction ( the difference ) are both perfect squares.

The only one fitting this description is

16a² - 4y²

= (4a)² - (2y)² ← difference of squares

Step-by-step explanation:

+(+) Two like signs become a positive sign 3+(+2) = 3 + 2 = 5

−(−) 6−(−3) = 6 + 3 = 9

+(−) Two unlike signs become a negative sign 7+(−2) = 7 − 2 = 5

−(+) 8−(+2) = 8 − 2 = 6

System of Linear Equations
dedylja [7]

Answer:

X=6

Y= - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

X-y =7

X+y =5 cross - y and y

_______

X+x =7 +5

2x= 12

X= 12/2

X= 6

Replace X in first equation:

X - y =7

6 - y =7

6 - 7 =y

y = - 1

Hope this helps you.. Good Luck!
