y = -3x - 2
Since a < 0 we have a decreasing line, so it can be only the first or the last
And if we solve the equation for y = 0 we have
0 = -3x - 2
3x = -2
x = -2/3
So, the last one is the right
You combine like terms which are -10x and 7x and 1 and 37. Then it becomes -3x=36. x would equal to 36/-3, which is -12.
This question is asking which two numeric values are closer to each other. The smallest gap in between Mercury, and Helium, which is the answer
Answer:
x - y = 4
x + y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute x=4 and y=0 in every equation. If both sides of the equal sign are equal, (LS=RS, left side equals right side) then the graph intersects at (4,0).
- x - y = 4
- (4) - 0 = 4
-4 = 4
LS≠RS
x - y = 4
4 - 0 = 4
4 = 4
LS=RS
2 x + y = 7
2(4) + 0 = 7
8 = 7
LS≠RS
2 x + y = -7
2(4) + 0 = -7
8 = -7
LS≠RS
x + y = 4
4 + 0 = 4
4 = 4
LS=RS
2 x - y = 7
2(4) - 0 = 7
8 - 0 = 7
8 = 7
LS≠RS
Only x - y = 4 and x + y = 4 intersect at (4, 0).
