Answer:

Let's solve your system of equations by elimination.

8x+9y=48;12x+5y=21

Steps:

Multiply the first equation by 5,and multiply the second equation by -9.

5(8x+9y=48)

−9(12x+5y=21)

Becomes:

40x+45y=240

−108x−45y=−189

Add these equations to eliminate y:

−68x=51

Then solve−68x=51for x:

−68x /−68 = 51 /−68  (Divide both sides by -68)

x=  −3 /4

Now that we've found x let's plug it back in to solve for y.

Write down an original equation:

8x+9y=48

Substitute

−3 /4

8x+9y=48:

8( −3 /4 )+9y=48

9y−6=48 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

9y−6+6=48+6 (Add 6 to both sides)

9y=54

9y /9  =  54 /9  (Divide both sides by 9)   y=6

<em><u>Answer:  x=  −3 /4  and y=6</u></em>

Hope This Helps!  Have A Nice Day!!

This question is too hard
OLga [1]

Answer:

27 children

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 9 children, there are 4 adults. Those numbers added together equal 13. Now, if we divide the total number of adults and children by 13, we will get the number of how many groups there are of 9 kids and 4 adults.

39 / 13 = 3

There are 3 groups of 9 kids and 4 adults, which means to find the total number of children, we have to multiply 3 by 9.

3 * 9 = 27

Therefore, there are 27 children total. I know this was probably really confusing, but I hope it helped in some way! Have a lovely day!! :)

Need help ASAP Question 1 of 10
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

4(x - 9)^2 - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

A horizontal shift to the right by 9 changes x^2 to (x - 9)^2.

A vertical shift down by 1 changes - 16 to -17.

Therefore, the new equation is:

4(x - 9)^2 - 17
