5x - 4y = 42 ------  (1)
x - 6y = 24 ----------(2), multiply eq. 2 by 5 we get 
5x - 30y = 120 -----(3), 
now use eq. (3) - (1),
   5x - 30y = 120
 -(5x - 4y = 42) 
- 30y + 4y = 120 - 42, 
-26y = 78, y = -78/26 = -3, 
x = 24 + 6y = 24 + (6*[-3]) = 24 - 18 = 6,
x = 6, y = -3.

The number of goals scored by a soccer team varies directly as the number of shots on goal. If the Lakeside Bears scored 4 goals
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The number of additional shots on goal to score 3 more goals is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of goals scored

y ---> the number of shots on goal

we know that

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{4}{48} ----> equation A

so

For x=3

substitute the value of x and solve for y

\frac{3}{y}=\frac{4}{48}

y=\frac{48}{4}(3)

y=36

therefore

The number of additional shots on goal to score 3 more goals is 36

Given the two functions, which statement is true?<br> fx = 3^4, g(x) = 3^x + 5
Neko [114]

Answer:

third option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) then f(x) + c represents a vertical translation of f(x)

• If c > 0 then shift up by c units

• If c < 0 then shift down by c units

Given

g(x) = 3^{x} + 5 ← this represents a shift up of 5 units

Thus g(x) is the graph of f(x) translated up by 5 units

F(x)=2x^2+9x+4<br><br> what are the zeros
ikadub [295]

Answer:

(2x+1) (x+4)

Explanation:

The idea is to break down the middle term into two monomials which can be used in the factorization process. Note that  

2.4=8=8.1 , and that we may write 9=8+1 , which may help us in the process.

Let us write:

2x^2+9x+4

=2x^2+8x+x+4

=2x(x+4)+(+4)

=(2x+1)(x+4)

Y=−2x+5 and y=−12x−3 . Are the lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither?
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Neither.

Parallel lines have the same slope. Perpendicular lines have the opposite reciprocal slope. Neither of these are the case in this example, so the correct answer is Neither.

Let me know if this helps!
