Substitution doesn't work for this, but elimination does.
-6x-8y=-20 +6( x+6y=-6)
-6x-8y=-20 + 6x+36y=-36
-6x and 6x cancel each other, add -8 and 36 to get 28, and -20 and -36 to get -56.
28y=-56
divide by 28 on both sides.
Y= -2
Then substitute y into one of the equations.
x+6(-2)=-6
x-12=-6
x=6
The ordered pair is (6,-2).
By looking at the graph and seeing which point crosses the y axis. This point will always have an x coordinate of zero.
Answer:
k = 10.5
Step-by-step explanation:
8/7 = 12/k
Using cross products
8k = 7*12
8k = 84
Divide each side by 8
8k/8 = 84/8
k = 10.5
Using a system of equations, it is found that the correct option is:
A) 1389x+1660y=787x+1121y.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
In this problem, considering the amounts in each olympics(1389 men and 787 women participated on the 19th, 1660 men and 1121 women in the 22th), the system is:
A) 1389x+1660y=787x+1121y.
