-4y ≤ -12
Divide both sides by -4:
y ≤ 3
Because both sides were divided by a negative value you need to reverse the inequality sign:
y ≥ 3
Answer:
<em>x = 3 and y = 0</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
3y+x=3
-2y+5x=15
Isolate y in 3y + x = 3 :
Substitute 
in -2y + 5x = 15 :
Simplify the equation :
Isolate x in 
:
Proving x = 3
Isolate y in 
:
Proving y = 0
Your solved system of equations are x being 3, and y being 0.
Starts at 1,000feet
Each second is getting 20 feet closer to the surface since is ascending ( going higher)
1,000/20= 100/2=50 second it takes to reach the surface
Divide by 5 each side
X+2=4
Subtract 2 from each side
X=2
5(2+2)=20
Does work
In algebra when isolating (leaving alone on one side) x, you do the opposite operation, thus multiplying when you are trying to get rid of a division and vice versa
