This is a system of equations. You can solve it by substitution or elimination. I'm going to use substitution x - 2y = -4.5; add 2y to each side x - 2y + 2y = -4.5 + 2y; simplify x = 2y - 4.5 2(2y - 4.5) + 3y = 12 4y - 9 + 3y = 12 7y - 9 = 12 7y - 9 + 9 = 12 + 9 7y = 21 y = 3 <--------first answer x - 2y = -4.5 x - 2(3) = -4.5 x - 6 = -4.5 x -6 + 6 = -4.5 + 6 x = 1.5 <--------second answer Check: 2(1.5) + 3(3) = 12? 3 + 9 = 12? 12 = 12; It checks 1.5 - 2(3) = -4.5? 1.5 - 6 = -4.5? -4.5 = -4.5; It checks x = 1.5 and y = 3 <-----------Final Answer

Leah is writing an equivalent equation which solves for y. What should be her next step? 3x+4y=8 Add 4y to both sides of the equ
ratelena [41]

The given equation is

3x+4y=8

And we have to solve for y.

Solving for y, means isolating y . And to isolate y, we need to get rid of 4 that is with y .

It means we have to separate 4 from y, and for separation , we have to perform division. That is, we have to divide both sides by 4, and that will be the next step .

So out of the four options, correct option is the last option .

20 if f(x) = 4x + 5, what is the value of f(-3)?<br> A-2<br> B-7<br> C 17<br> 04
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

B. -7

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4x + 5

To find the value of f(-3), replace all the x's in f(x) with -3.

f(x) = 4x + 5

f(-3) = 4(-3) + 5

f(-3) = -12 + 5

f(-3) = -7.

This makes your answer B, -7.
