Answer:

(4, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + y = 14 → (1)

7x - 4y = 20 → (2)

Rearrange (1) making y the subject by subtracting 3x from both sides

y = 14 - 3x → (3)

Substitute y = 14 - 3x into (2)

7x - 4(14 - 3x) = 20 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

7x - 56 + 12x = 20

19x - 56 = 20 ( add 56 to both sides )

19x = 76 ( divide both sides by 19 )

x = 4

Substitute x = 4 into (3) for corresponding value of y

y = 14 - 3(4) = 14 - 12 = 2

solution is (4, 2 )

Answer:

$3x + y = 14 \\ y = 14 - 3x \\ substitute \: y \: into \: equation \: 2\\ 7x - 4(14 - 3x) = 20 \\ 7x - 56 + 12x = 20 \\ 19x = 76 \\ x = \frac{76}{19} =4 \\ y = 14 - 3( 4 ) = 2 \\$

37. Rectangle ABCD is graphed on a coordinate

Firlakuza [10]

AC # A'B'

Step-by-step explanation:

While solving the above problem one must keep in mind that

Reflection along Y-axis would just make the rectangle upside down at the same distance from X-axis in the down direction.

Thus, from the figure it becomes clear that

AB ∦ B’D’
CD║A’B’
BD ∦ C’D’

Only statement that comes out true is the third statement which states that AC is not parallel to A’B’

Since the diagonal of a rectangle can not be parallel to one of its side (though the side in question is side of the same rectangle reflected in y axis)

What is the variation constant for an inverse squared relationship where we know x = –4 and y = 3?

stich3 [128]

Let the constant be k.

For an inverse squared proportion the formula is y = k/x^2

Insert values of y and x into the formula.
3 = k/(-4)^2
3(-4)^2 = k
k = 3(16)
k = 48

Hope this helps. :)
