Answer:

A) Silvie is incorrect; the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is always irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept of adding rational and irrational numbers states that the result will always be irrational.

Take for instance the addition of 4.5 and 3.142857

4.5 is a rational number because it can easily be expressed in fractions while 3.142857 is irrational because it can't be expressed as a simple fraction.

The addition of these two numbers gives 7.642857

7.642857 is an irrational number.

Similarly, any sum of two numbers (rational and irrational) will always result in irrational number.

Hence, Silvie is incorrect.

Solve the system using the substituiton method<br> branliest offered<br> 3x-7y=10<br> x-4y=5
fiasKO [112]
Hi there!

To solve this problem using substitution, we need to set x equal to a value and substitute it into the other equation.

Since
x - 4y = 5,
x = 5 + 4y

3x - 7y = 10
3(5 + 4y) - 7y = 10
15 + 12y - 7y = 10
15 + 5y = 10
5y = -5
y = -1

Now that we know y is -1, we can substitute it back into the equation to find x:

y = -1
x - 4y = 5
x - 4(-1) = 5
x - (-4) = 5
x + 4 = 5
x = 1

So, your answers are x = 1 and y = -1.

Hope this helps!
