Answer:

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:

For the question on the right, I assume b is the exponential factor, or growth factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear:

$Y=aX + b\\(X, Y) = (0, 15) => b = 15\\(X,Y) = (1, 12) => a = -3\\Y = -3X + 15$

You can find the equation by using two points and the equation for a line.

Exponential:

$Y = a^{bX+c}\\(X, Y) = (0, 81) => a^{c} = 81 => a^{c} = 3^{4} => a=3, c=4\\(X, Y) = (1, 27) => a^{b+c} = 27 => a^{b}a^{c} = 27 => a^{b} = \frac{27}{81} = \frac{1}{3} => b=-1\\Y = 3^{-X+4}$

For the following system, use the second equation to make a substitution for y in the first equation. 3x + y = 1 y + 4 = 5x What

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the two equations:

$3x+y=1\\y+4=5x$

To make a substitution of the second equation into the first equation, we need to isolate the <em>y </em>variable in the second equation. Thus:

$y+4=5x\\y=5x-4$

Now, we can substitute this into the first equation. Therefore:

$3x+y=1\\3x+(5x-4)=1\\3x+5x-4=1$
