Answer:

(- 1, - 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x = 4y + 3 → (1)

2x + y = - 3 → (2)

Substitute x = 4y + 3 into (2)

2(4y + 3) + y = - 3 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

8y + 6 + y = - 3

9y + 6 = - 3 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

9y = - 9 ( divide both sides by 9 )

y = - 1

Substitute y = - 1 into (1) for corresponding value of x

x = 4(- 1) + 3 = - 4 + 3 = - 1

solution is (- 1, - 1 )

A regulation baseball field measures 90 feet between each base. What is the distance around the bases in meters?

Alex787 [66]

assuming that the bases are placed correctly, the bases connected draw a square, each side being 90 ft long. We multiply 90 by the amount of sides(4) to find the total distance/perimeter = 360.

Give an equation of a line that is parallel to −3x + 7y =4. Explain why your line is parallel to the given line and how you arri

koban [17]

Answer:

3x -7y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Changing the constant in a linear equation like this only changes the y-intercept. It has no effect on the slope of the line. So, we can change the constant from 4 to 0 and we will have a line with the same slope, parallel to the original, but with a different y-intercept.

The "standard form" of the equation of a line has the leading coefficient positive. We can make that be the case by using the multiplication property of equality, multiplying both sides of the equation by -1.

Parallel line:

-3x +7y = 0

In standard form:

3x -7y = 0
