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!
Answer:
-11/4
Step-by-step explanation:
(-8 - 3)/[3-(-1)]= -11/4
Answer:
10 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set an equation for you and your brother.
You have $90 plus $18 for every week you save (x).
90+18x
And your brother has $120 plus $15 dollars per week that he saves (x)
120+15x
You want to have the sum of the money equal so combine the two concluded statements
90+18x=120+15x
Arrange them so that you have like terms on each side
90+18x-15x=12+15x-15x
90+3x=120
90-90+3x=120-90
3x=30
x=10
"x" is our number of weeks you and your brother save so the answer is 10 weeks
Just to be sure you can use our equation and plug 10 for every time you see x to make sure our answer is right.
Slope is the change in Y ( vertical) over the change in X( horizontal).
The slope would be -2 /3
You would multiply the horizontal distance by the slope:
-2/3 x 12 = -8
The answer would be D. v(h)=-2/3h, and the vertical distance is -8 feet.
