Step-by-step explanation:
B. -16 + (-7) ...this is the same as -16-7
First, solve for the slope. This can be found by looking at the y and x intercepts. At x = 0, y = 1.5. At x = 2, y = 0.
Slope is defined as Δy/Δx, or the change in y over the change in x. This means that in order to calculate the slope, you must find the difference between the values of y and divide it by the difference in the values of x for the two points to determine the slope between them.
(0 - 1.5)/(2-0) = (-1.5)/2 = -0.75 or -3/4
Now that you have the slope, we can write the equation in slope intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope we calculated and b is the y intercept, 1.5.
y = (-3/4)x + 1.5
7x+(x-4)(X+5)-5x
7x+(X*2+ 5x-4x-20)-5x
7x+(X*2+ x-20)-5x
X*2+3x-20
The solution is (5, 15)
Multiply the second equation by 2 and then add through.
3x + 2y = 45
8x - 2y = 10
-----------------
11x = 55
x = 5
Then plug in to get the y value
3(5) + 2y = 45
15 + 2y = 45
2y = 30
y = 15
