Answer:

a. (7, 27) Polly was incorrect.

b. (3, 1) Polly was correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

y = 4x - 1

2x - y = -13

We can solve this by substitution. Our first equation gives us y. Plug that into our second equation for each instance of y.

2x - y = -13

2x - (4x - 1) = -13

First distribute the negative sign across the parentheses.

2x - 4x + 1 = -13

Combine like terms.

-2x + 1 = -13

-2x = -14

Divide both sides by -2.

x = 7

Now that we know x, plug its value into one of our original equations.

y = 4x - 1

y = 4(7) - 1

Solve.

y = 28 - 1

y = 27

Our solution is (7, 27).

Let's check our answer by plugging both values into one of our original equations.

2x - y = -13

2(7) - 27 = -13

Solve.

14 - 27 = -13

-13 = -13

Your solution is correct.

Polly's solution was (-2, -9), which is incorrect.

b.

3x + 6y = 15

-2x + 3y = -3

Let's solve this by elimination. To solve by elimination means to eliminate a variable from the equation.

We have 3x & -2x and 6y & 3y. Notice that 6 and 3 can be simplified easily. To eliminate y, we want to multiply each factor of the second equation by -2.

-2x + 3y = -3

-2(-2x + 3y = -3)

4x - 6y = 6

Write the equations together.

3x + 6y = 15

4x - 6y = 6

Now we can see that the y variable will cancel out.

Apply the elimination method.

3x + 6y = 15

4x - 6y = 6

________

7x = 21

Divide both sides by 7.

x = 3

Now that we know x, plug its value into one of our original equations.

3x + 6y = 15

3(3) + 6y = 15

Solve.

9 + 6y = 15

6y = 15 - 9

6y = 6

y = 1

Our solution is (3, 1).

Let's check our answer by plugging both values into one of our original equations.

-2x + 3y = -3

-2(3) + 3(1) = -3

Solve.

-6 + 3 = -3

-3 = -3

Your solution is correct.

Polly's solution was (3, 1), so she was correct.

Hope this helps!

Find the measure of the largest angle in the triangle
tester [92]

Answer:

72°

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the image of the question attached

The sum of angle in a triangle is 180°

Hence:

15x+24x+21x = 180°

60x =180

x =180/60

x= 3

Get the largest angle

The largest angle out of the angles is 24x

24x =24(3)

24(3) =72°

Hence the measure of the largest angle is 72°

Without dividing, select the number that is divisible by 3.
Minchanka [31]
Answer: B. 1125
The answer is B because there is a special method when dividing by 3 to make sure it is actually able to be divided. You add the all the digits together, for example the digits in 1125, the total sum is 9 and if the total sum is able to be be divided by 3 then the whole number can be divided by 3.

Find the next two numbers in the pattern<br><br> 12500, -2500, 500, -100,...
astraxan [27]
The pattern first of all is divide the number by -5. (12500/ -5 = -2500, and so on) Since we know that, you divide -100 by -5 which gets you 20, then 20 by -5 which gets you -4.

The next two numbers are 20, and -4

Hope this helps!

Please help me asap its the end of the year and i need to get this in
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

it would be 200 units

Step-by-step explanation:

if the length is twice the width and the perimeter only being 60 units, you would have 20 as your length and 10 as your width (20+20+10+10=60). Then if you multiply 20 and 10 you get 200
