Answer:

One solution at (-2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4y=−2.

2x−4y=−8

Add the two equations together

3x+4y=−2

2x−4y=−8

------------------------

5x +0y = -10

Divide by 5

5x/5 = -10/5

x=-2

Now find y

2x-4y = -8

2*-2 -4y = -8

-4-4y = -8

Add 4 to each side

-4+4 -4y = -8+4

-4y = -4

Divide by -4

y = 1

Determine whether the following statement is true or false and then explain with an example: "Due to a downturn in the economy,

Musya8 [376]

Of course, this statement is FALSE.
Let`s assume that a small town in Nevada had a population of 1,000.
When it lost 20% of its population:
1,000 * ( 1 - 0.2 ) = 1,000 - 0.8 = 800
After that the same town gained 20 % more people:
800 * ( 1 + 0.2 ) = 800 * 1.2 = 960
960 ≠ 1,000
In the end the town`s population was not the same as it was before the downturm.

Speaker placement. a stereo receiver is in a corner of an 18-ft by 24-ft room. speaker wire will run under a rug, diagonally,

hoa [83]

The length of wire to be purchased will be found as follows:
c²=a²+b²
c²=18²+24²
c²=900
c=√900
c=30 ft
Thus the length of the wire will be:
30+4+4
=38 ft
