Answer:
b. (1, 3, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator or scientific calculator can solve this system of equations for you, or you can use any of the usual methods: elimination, substitution, matrix methods, Cramer's rule.
It can also work well to try the offered choices in the given equations. Sometimes, it can work best to choose an equation other than the first one for this. The last equation here seems a good one for eliminating bad answers:
a: -1 -5(1) +2(-4) = -14 ≠ -18
b: 1 -5(3) +2(-2) = -18 . . . . potential choice
c: 3 -5(8) +2(1) = -35 ≠ -18
d: 2 -5(-3) +2(0) = 17 ≠ -18
This shows choice B as the only viable option. Further checking can be done to make sure that solution works in the other equations:
2(1) +(3) -3(-2) = 11 . . . . choice B works in equation 1
-(1) +2(3) +4(-2) = -3 . . . choice B works in equation 2
The only way to determine whether or not an outcome is unusual or not is to compare it with previous or future outcomes.
Answer:
Last one
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Go to x=4 and y= 3
It is in the shaded area to it is a solution
next three are n+2, n+4, and n+6
four consecutive odd have sum 56
n + n+2 + n+4 + n+6 = 56
4n + 12 = 56
4n = 44
n = 11
the numbers are 11, 13, 15, and 17
