Answer:
the answer would be a because i had this exact question on ed2020, i think i remember it being A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's are the steps to solving it.
3-a+5-2a=17
-3a=9
a=-3
Answer:
first number is 5
second number is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
let x and y represent the first and second number
5x - 2y = 11 ........ equation 1
3x - 2y = 11.......... equation 2
so by elimination, equation 1 minus equation 2
5x - 3x - 2y - 2y = 11 - 1
2x = 10
x = 5
therefore the first number is 5
put x = 5 into equation 1
5x - 2y = 11
5(5) - 2y = 11
25 - 2y = 11
-2y = 11 - 25
-2y = - 14
y = 7
therefore the second number is 7
hope it helps .
Answer:
y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-axis is a vertical line, so the perpendicular line is a horizontal line. It is generally written in the form ...
y = constant
For the line to go through the point (-5, -3), the constant must match the y-coordinate of the point: -3
y = -3 . . . . your equation
__
Such a line has a slope of 0, so could be written in "slope-intercept form" as ...
y = 0x -3
We generally omit terms that evaluate to zero.
In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"), the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and "b" is the y-intercept, where the line crosses the y-axis.
