Welcome to Brainly!

We have the following system of linear equations:

3x-3y=21

5x+4y=24

We could solve this system through elimination: Multiply the first equation by 5 and the second equation by -3. When you add together the results, x will drop out. This is a great approach.

But you could take a short cut by subst. the coordinates (4,-3) into both of the given linear equations. IF both equations are true after this substitution, then you know that (4,-3) is a solution. Let's try it:

3(4) - 3(-3) = 21 => 12 + 9 = 21. This is true. But we must ALSO check whether (4,-3) satisfies 5x+4y=24: 5(4) + 4(-3) = 24 => 20 - 12 = 12. This is NOT equal to 24, so we must conclude that (4,-3) is NOT a solution of this system of linear equations.

No it is not. although it fits the first equation, it doesn’t fit the second.

What is the scale factor from Figure A to Figure B?

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the Scale factor we use this formula:

Scale factor / K = Dimension of the new shape ÷ Dimension of the original shape

Substitute any 2 corresponding sides into the formula:

I took 1 and 4:

K = 1 / 4

K = 0.25

I'm not sure which form the question is so I will leave it here.

Hope this helped. Brainliest please?

Rob is travelling to germany he drives for1 1/2 hours wait for 2 3/4 hours flight lasts 2 1/3 hours how long has he travelled pu

DIA [1.3K]

We add all these mixed numbers together:

1 1/2 + 2 3/4 + 2 1/3

It will be easier to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:

3/2 + 11/4 + 7/3

Now we have to find the common denominator which is 12:

18/12 + 33/12 + 28/12 = 79/12 = 6 7/12

The answer is 6 7/12 hours.

Solve the simultaneous equation <br> 2x-5y=9<br> 3x+4y=2

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

2x-5y=9

Add 5y to both sides of the equation.

2x=9+5y

Divide each term by 2 and simplify.

Divide each term in 2x=9+5y by 2

$\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{9}{2} +\frac{5y}{2}$

Cancel the common factor of 2.

Divide x by 1.

$x=\frac{9}{2} +\frac{5y}{2}$

$y=\frac{-9}{5} +\frac{2x}{5}$

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3x+4y=2

Add 4y to both sides of the equation

3x=2+4y

Divide each term by 3 and simplify.

Divide each term in 3x=2+4y by 3.

$\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{2}{3} +\frac{4y}{3}$

Cancel the common factor of 3.

Divide x by 1.

$x=\frac{2}{3} +\frac{4y}{3}$

$y=\frac{-1}{2} +\frac{3x}{4}$
