Answer:

(3, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

When asked to solve by elimination, you put them on top of one another, like you're going to add it.

10x + 7y = 9

-4x - 7y = 9

See that 7y? You can cancel those out because one is negative, and one is positive. So those are gone. You finish adding the rest of the numbers as usual and solve for x.

6x = 18

x = 3

Take x, and plug it into either equation to find y.

10(3) + 7y = 9

7y = -21

y = -3

(3, -3)

Hope this helped!

Two-fifths of one less than a number is less than three-fifths of one more than that number. What numbers are in the solution se

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

2/5 (x - 1)

3/5 (x + 1)

2/5 (x - 1 ) < 3/5(x+ 1) Multiply both sides by 5

2(x - 1) < 3 ( x + 1) Remove the brackets.

2x - 2 < 3x + 3 Add 2 to both sides

2x < 3x + 5 Subtract 3x from both sides

2x - 3x < 5

- x < 5 Here's the tricky part . Divide by - 1

x > -5 Notice what happened. The < become > That happens because you have divided (or multiplied) by a negative number.

The original question 2/5 (x - 1 ) < 3/5(x+ 1) was graphed. The red part is every value that satisfies the inequality. You should be using a y and x together to find a more suitable answer using this program. But if you just look along the x axis, you will see that the < has been turned around.

B The second one from the top.
