What is the solution to this system of equations? 4x + 5y = 7

Answer:

(-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 5y = 7

3x - 2y = -12

Let's solve this by elimination. We want to eliminate one variable at a time. This means we need to multiply the equations to create a common multiple to cancel out a variable.

Let's work with y.

5y and -2y: For these values to cancel out, we need to multiply each term to create a common multiple.

2(4x + 5y = 7)

5(3x - 2y = -12)

Multiply.

8x + 10y = 14

15x - 10y = -60

Eliminate.

23x = -46

Divide both sides by 23.

x = -2

Now that we know x, let's plug it back into one of equations to find y.

4x + 5y = 7

4(-2) + 5y = 7

Multiply.

-8 + 5y = 7

Add.

5y = 15

Divide.

y = 3

Now we know x and y; let's plug both back into the equation we have not checked yet.

3x - 2y = -12

3(-2) - 2(3) = -12

Multiply.

-6 - 6 = -12

Subtract.

-12 = -12

Your solution is correct.

(-2, 3)

Hope this helps!

The dot plot shows how many cats are owned by each person in a neighborhood:
REY [17]

If we plot the data on the graph, we can see that the data is skewed to the right (positive skew) and there is an outlier. In skewed data and presence of outlier, the median is most commonly used measure of central tendency. This is because a positive skew would result in a positive bias to the mean. Meaning that it would be a lot larger than the median and not really representing the actual central tendency. The median however is less affected by the skew and outliers.

Answer: Median, because the data are skewed and there is an outlier

Solve each equation by completing the square <br>r² = –12r - 35​
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

r = - 7, r = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

r² = - 12r - 35 ( add 12r to both sides )

r² + 12r = - 35

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the r- term )² to both sides

r² + 2(6)r + 36 = - 35 + 36

(r + 6)² = 1 ← take the square root of both sides )

r + 6 = ± 1 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

r = - 6 ± 1, thus

r = - 6 - 1 = - 7 or r = - 6 + 1 = - 5
