Answer:

x =-5

y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-x + 5y = -20 ----------1

-2x + 4y = -10 ---------2

Multiply eqn 1 by 2 and eqn 2 by 1

This is done to make coefficients of x in both equations the same so that x can be eliminated

-2x + 10y = -40

-2x + 4y = -10

Subtracting

6y = -30

y = -5

Substitute y = -5 in eqn 1

-x+5×-5=-20

-x - 25= -20

-x = -20+25 = 5

x = -5

Answer:

x = -5

y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply the top equation by negative 2, you can add it to the bottom equation and cancel out the x:

-2(-x + 5y = -20) --> 2x - 10y = 40

Add this to the bottom equation top to bottom:

2x - 10y = 40

-2x + 4y = -10

You get:

-6y = 30

Then solve for y:

y = -5

Plug this back in for either equation and solve for x:

-x + 5(-5) = -20

-x -25 = -20

-x = 5

x = -5

Your answers are:

x = -5

y = -5

3m to the power of 2= 222<br> What is the value of m?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

if it is 3m^2 then √74        if you meant (3m)^2 it is √74/3

Step-by-step explanation:

if the first then you divide 3 from both sides thus getting m^2= 74, and you get m=√74, if second then you get 9m^2 and you divide 9 from both sides and get m^2 = 2.4(8) and you square that to get √74/3

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

b=9

x=5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

find the common ration

AB is 6, and XY is 3 (they are the corresponding sides)

ratio is 2 to 1 (6/3=2/1)

AC corresponds with YZ

XY is 4.5 so b is 4.5*2=9

ZY corresponds with CB

CB is 11, since XYZ is the smaller divide by 2 instead of multiplying by 2

Which table represents the equation y = -2x + 17?
Alexeev081 [22]
<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>

Explanation:

Each table has x = 10 in it. Plug this value into the given equation.

y = -2x+17

y = -2*10+17

y = -20+17

y = -3

The input x = 10 leads to the output y = -3. Table A shows this in the middle-most row. So that's why choice A is the answer. The other tables have x = 10 lead to y values that aren't -3 (eg: choice D has x = 10 lead to y = 12), so we can rule them out.
