Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
4x - 5y = 18 → (1)
3x - 2y = 10 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by - 4, then adding will eliminate the x- term
12x - 15y = 54 → (3)
- 12x + 8y = - 40 → (4)
Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x, that is
- 7y = 14 ( divide both sides by - 7 )
y = - 2
Substitute y = - 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
4x - 5(- 2) = 18
4x + 10 = 18 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 2
solution is (2, - 2 ) → D
Answer:
(a) yes it does
(b) the rate is constant because the rate of change (slope) is the same throughout the function.
(c) The rate, or rate of change, is -1/2.
y1 - y2/x1-x2
4 - 2/3 - 9
2/-6
-1/2
Answer: magnesium >potassium hope it helps
Two solutions exist,
2(x - 1) = 8
2x - 2 = 8
2x = 10
x = 5
&
2(x + 1) = 8
2x + 2 = 8
2x = 6
x = 3
the two solutions are 5 and 3
