Answer:
Step 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution is given in the image attached. The steps are:
Step 1:
Step 2: simplifying the coefficients of x:
Step 3: Adding 1/4 to both sides
Step 4: Multiplying both sides by 5/7
The addition property of equality states that if a number is added to both sides of an equation, the equation is still valid (i.e the equation is still the same). From the steps above, The addition property of equality was applied in step 3
Answer:
A. (–8, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) y = ½x + 6
(2) y = -¾x – 4 Set (1) = (2)
½x + 6 = -¾x – 4 Multiply each side by 4
2x + 24 = -3x – 16 Add 16 to each side
2x + 40 = -3x Subtract 2x from each side
40 = -5x Divide each side by -5
(3) x = -8 Substitute (2) into (1)
y = ½(-8) +6
= -4 + 6
= 2
The solution to the system of equations is (-8 ,2).
You can see the graphs of the two functions in the figure below. The two lines intersect at (-8, 2).
Check:
2 = ½(-8) + 6 2 = -¾(-8) - 4
2 = -4 +6 2 = 6 - 4
2 = 2 2 = 2
