Looking at this we can group like terms. What are like terms? They are terms that have the same variable that we can add or subtract. In this case the like terms are 6m and m because they both have the same variable and we could add them together to get 7m.
X greater then or equal to -1
Answer: Richter Scale
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
positive
Step-by-step explanation:
when there is no sign in front of the numbers, we can assume that the numbers are positive
Please, use parentheses to enclose each fraction:
y=3/4X+5 should be written as <span>y=(3/4)X+5
Let's eliminate the fraction 3/4 by multiplying the above equation through by 4:
4[y] = 4[(3/4)x + 5]
Then 4y = 3x + 20
(no fraction here)
Let 's now solve the system
4y=3x + 20
4x-3y=-1
We are to solve this system using subtraction. To accomplish this, multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 4. Here's what happens:
12y = 9x + 60 (first equation)
16x-12y = -4, or -12y = -4 - 16x (second equation)
Then we have
12y = 9x + 60
-12y =-16x - 4
If we add here, 12y-12y becomes zero and we then have 0 = -7x + 56.
Solving this for x: 7x = 56; x=8
We were given equations
</span><span>y=3/4X+5
4x-3y=-1
We can subst. x=8 into either of these eqn's to find y. Let's try the first one:
y = (3/4)(8)+5 = 6+5=11
Then x=8 and y=11.
You should check this result. Subst. x=8 and y=11 into the second given equation. Is this equation now true?</span>
