Answer:

A. (3, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the addition/elimination for this to avoid fractions.  You could solve one of the equations for y or x and then sub that value into the other equation, but you would have to deal with fractions along the way, so let's just not.  Using the addition/elimination (they're the same thing; math books sometimes use one or the other), we line up our equations:

 5x  +  2y  =  9

 2x  -  3y   = 15

It looks like if we want to eliminate the y terms, we can multiply the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by 2 to get a whole new set of equations:

 15x  +  6y  =  27

  4x  -   6y  =  30

Now we can see that when we add down the columns, the y's cancel each other out.  6y's minus 6y's leaves us with no y's.  What we are left with is

19x = 57 so

x = 3.

Now we will sub that 3 back in to either of the original equations to solve for y:

2(3) - 3y = 15 and

6 - 3y = 15 and

-3y = 9 so

y = -3

The solution set then is (3, -3)

Write the inequality:<br><br> Two less than twice a number is less than a half.
Art [367]

Answer:

2x-2<1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

when the problem says "two less than" it means we are subtracting 2 from something, in this case, that something is "twice a number" as the problem states. So we would write 2x where x is a variable that represents any number so we have 2x-2<1/2.

Y=4(1/3)^x growth or decay and why ?
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Decay

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation shown has a ratio(number raised to the power) less than 1, so therefore it is decay. This basically comes from the fact that if you raise a number less than 1 to a power, it become smaller than the number itself.

(In the cases talked about above, we are neglecting negative numbers)
