Answer:

  x

Step-by-step explanation:

There is already an expression given for x, so that is the easiest variable to substitute for.

Substituting for x using the second equation, you have ...

  -3(-2y+14) +y = -14

  6y -42 +y = -14

  7y = 28

  y = 4

  x = -2(4) +14 = 6

The solution is (x, y) = (6, 4).

_____

Substitution for x is the easiest.

__

The first equation could be rearranged to give an expression for y:

  y = 3x -14

Then that can be used to substitute for y in the second equation. My lazy brain judges that to be more work.

Is it true or false that 16.371 rounded to the nearest whole number 16 feet per second
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

To round off a number to its nearest whole number, look at the first number after the decimal point. If the number is equal or greater than 5, add 1 to the number before the decimal point. If it is  less than 5, add zero.

Because the first number after the decimal point is 3, which is less than 5, add zero to 16 . 16 + 0 = 16

If the number were 16.571, rounding off to the nearest whole number would give 17

Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form that is parallel to y = 3x+6 and passes through the point (-10, 2.5)
TiliK225 [7]

1) Line should be parallel to y = 3x+6, so slope of this line should be =3.

y=mx +b

y=3x +b

Now we have to find b (y-intercept), using the point (-10, 2.5).

2.5 = 3*(-10)+b

b=2.5+30=32.5

y=3x + 32.5

2) The line should be perpendicular to y = -4x -2, so its slope is going to be negative reciprocal m= 1/4.

Now we have to find b (y-intercept), using the point (-16, -11).

y=(1/4)x +b

-11=(1/4)*(-16) + b

-11 = -4 +b

b = -7

y=(1/4)x - 7
