Answer:

The Equation is

- 4 x - 11 = 2 (x - 3 x) + 13

→ - 4 x - 11= 2 x - 2* 3 x + 13⇒⇒Using Distributive property of multiplication over subtraction which is , A * (B - C) = A*B - A*C

Bringing variables on one side and Constants on another side

→ - 4 x - 2 x + 6 x = 13 +11

→ - 6 x + 6 x = 24

0 =24

which is not possible.

Hence this equation has no solution.

If you look at the equation in the way

L HS= - 4 x - 11

A= - 4 x -11

R H S = 2 *(x - 3 x) + 13

B= 2 * (- 2 x) +13

= - 4 x + 13

Both L HS and R H S, if looked individually represent lines in two dimensional plane, having equal slopes and different Y intercept.

So, the two lines are parallel.

Parallel lines do not intersect.

So, the equation has no solution.

-4x - 11 = 2(x - 3x) + 13
-4x - 11 = 2x - 6x + 13
-4x - 11 = -4x + 13
-4x + 4x = 13 + 11
0 = 24...incorrect......no solutions for this problem

Keiko determined that the coordinate points (–4, 0), (–3, –1), and (2, –6) are solutions to the following system. y = − x − 4 y

Bess [88]

Answer:

only (-4,0) is a reasonable solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to see which ones are reasonable we need to apply the points to the system and check if they make both equations valid at the same time.

y = -x - 4

y = x² + x - 12

For (-4, 0):

0 = -(-4) - 4 -> 0 = 4 -4 -> 0 = 0 (valid)

0 = (-4)² - 4 - 12 -> 0 = 16 - 16 -> 0 = 0 (valid)

For (-3, -1):

-1 = -(-3) -4 -> -1 = 3 -4 -> -1 = -1 (valid)

-1 = (-3)² -1 - 12 -> -1 = 9 -13 -> -1 = -4 (invalid)

For (2, -6):

2 = -(-6) - 4 -> 2 = 6 -4 -> 2 = 2 (valid)

2 = (-6)² -6 -12 -> 2 = 36 -18 -> 2 = 18 (invalid)

Therefore only (-4,0) is a reasonable solution.

Identify the slope and y-intercept of the line whose equation is given. Write the y-intercept as an ordered pair. (Remember the

marusya05 [52]

The slope of the given linear equation is 1/3 and the y-intercept will be 5/6. Then the correct option is D.

<h3>What is the slope?</h3>

The slope is the ratio of rising or falling and running. The difference between the ordinate is called rise or fall and the difference between the abscissa is called run.

Identify the slope and y-intercept of the line whose equation is given. Write the y-intercept as an ordered pair.

The linear equation is given below.

$\rm y =\dfrac{5}{6} + \dfrac{x}{3}$

Then the slope of the equation will be 1/3.

And the y-intercept will be 5/6.

More about the slope link is given below.

Over a period of 12 weeks, Carlos ran an average of 21 miles per week. How many kilometers is this? Round your answer to the nea

velikii [3]

Answer:

405.80

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we know Carlos ran 21 miles per week, for 12 weeks....

That makes 21 mi/wk x 12 weeks = 252 miles.

Then we know each km is 0.621 mile.

So, we divide 252 miles by 0.621 mile/km to get= 405.80 km

Dividing miles by miles/km gives us the unit we want (km).

<u>There was a trap in this question,</u> because if instead of dividing the 252 miles by 0.621 you would have multiplied it, you would have gotten another answer listed... just not the right one. :-)

The table shown below represents a function. Which of the following values could not be used to complete the table?

maksim [4K]

-5 could not be used in the table again, because we have the value of x=-5 for the value of 15. Therefore correct option is C.

Answer: C. -5
