Answer:

The solution is x = -2, y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with the equation 3x + y = -9

Substitute the y for 5x+7 seen in the second equation

Now you have 3x + (5x+7) = -9

Lets solve:

Let's add the x's

Now we have 8x + 7 = -9

Substracy seven from each side

Now we have 8x = -16

Now let's divide 8 on each side

Now we have x = -2

Now lets plug in -2 to the second equation

The second equation is y = 5x+7

When we plug in -2 we get y=5(-2)+7

We multiply

We now have y = -10+7

Add

y = -3

The solution is x = -2, y = -3

15) Which equation does not represent a function?

The answer is D as it can be rewritten as -((y^2)/5)-(8/5)=x. Solving for the x-intercepts you get -((y^2)/5)-(8/5) = 0 as you want to find the y values when x is zero. Solving for y you get: (y^2)/5)+(8/5) = 0 => (y^2)/5)=-(8/5) => y^2=-8 => y = plus or minus sqrt(-8). The first problem is that you have 2 x intercepts which already makes it not a function and second sqrt(-8) is an imaginary number making the solution not a real number.
