Answer:

(- 6, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + 2y = - 18 → (1)

2x + 9y = - 12 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 2 and (2) by - 3 and adding will eliminate the term in x, that is

6x + 4y = - 36 → (3)

- 6x - 27y = 36 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x

- 23y = 0

y = 0

Substitute y = 0 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for x

Substituting into (1)

3x + 0 = - 18

3x = - 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 6

Solution is (- 6, 0 )

Answer:

$x < - \frac{5}{13}$

$x \geqslant - \frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

↷

$- \frac{13}{16}x + \frac{3}{8} < \frac{11}{16} \\ \frac{ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: - \frac{3}{8 } < - \frac{3}{8} }{ \frac{ - \frac{13}{16}x }{ - \frac{13}{16} } < \: \: \: \frac{ \frac { 5}{16} }{ - \frac{ 13}{16} } } \\ \\ x < \frac{ - 5}{ \: 13}$

↷

$\frac{1}{3} \geqslant \frac{2}{9} - \frac{5}{9} x \\ \frac{ - \frac{ 2}{9} \geqslant - \frac{2}{9} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }{ \frac{ \: \: \: \frac{1}{9}x }{ - \frac{ 5}{9} } \geqslant \frac{ - \frac{5}{9} }{ - \frac{5}{9} } } \\ \\ x \geqslant - \frac{1}{5}$

Ken’s predicted temperature for April is 7ºC. His prediction for May is 2ºC higher than April. He used the number line to solve

tia_tia [17]

Answer: Ken Should have moved 9 units to the right because his prediction for May is 9°C. Moving to the left part of the number line would take Ken into negative degrees. 9°C is warmer than 7°C. Therefore, Ken should have moved 9 units to the right of the number line instead of 2 units to the left.
