<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>
  • Given the system of equations.

\begin{cases} y =  - 4x \\ 23 - 5y = 44 \end{cases}

  • Substitute y = -4x in the second equation.

23 - 5( - 4x) = 44 \\ 23 + 20x = 44 \\ 20x = 44 - 23 \\ 20x = 21 \\ x =  \frac{21}{20}

  • Substitute the value of x in any given equations. I will substitute the value of x in the first equation.

y =  - 4x \Longrightarrow y =  - 4( \frac{21}{20} ) \\ y =   \cancel{ - 4}( \frac{21}{ \cancel{20}} ) \Longrightarrow y =  -  \frac{21}{5}  \\ y =  -  \frac{21}{5}

  • Answer Check by substituting both values in two equations.

<u>First</u><u> </u><u>Equation</u>

y =  - 4x \Longrightarrow  -  \frac{21}{5}  =  - 4( \frac{21}{20} ) \\  -  \frac{21}{5}  =   \cancel{ - 4}( \frac{21}{ \cancel{20}} ) \\  -  \frac{21}{5}  =  -  \frac{21}{5}  \:  \:   \: \checkmark

<u>Second</u><u> </u><u>Equation</u>

23 - 5y = 44 \\ 23 - 5( -  \frac{21}{5} ) = 44 \\23 -  \cancel{5}( -  \frac{21}{ \cancel{5}} ) = 44 \\ 23 + 21 = 44 \\ 44 = 44 \:  \:  \:  \:  \checkmark

Both equations are true for the value of x and value of y.

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

<u>\begin{cases} x =  \frac{21}{20}  \\ y =  -  \frac{21}{5}  \end{cases}</u>

<u>Coordinate</u><u> </u><u>Point</u><u> </u><u>form</u>

<u>( \frac{21}{20} , -  \frac{21}{5} )</u>

-5x+y=6<br> -3x+6y=-12<br> Solving systems of equations by substitution
Yakvenalex [24]

if you isolate y in the top equation to get y=5x+6 then you can substiture y for 5x+6 in the bottom equation because thats what y equals

as of now you have -3x+6(5x+6)=-12 but if you use the distrubite property you would get -3x+30x+36=-12

then if you subtract 36 from both sides you would get -3x+30x=-48 then combine like terms to get 27x=-48 then divide both sides by 27 to get x=\frac{-48}{27} or x≈1.8

Find the distance between the following coordinates: I(-a,b), J(a,b)
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

2a

Step-by-step explanation:

using distance formula:

√(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²

putting values,

√{a-(a)}² + {b-b}² = √ {a+a}² + 0²

= √(2a)² = √4a² = 2a

Hope this helps:)

Steven is taking out a loan in the amount of $5,000. His choices are a 3-year loan at 5% simple interest and a 5 -year loan at 4
Andre45 [30]
I do believe it’s 250$

**The first choice:**
Principal: 5,000$
Rate(%): 5
Time(year): 3 years
A: 5,750$

**Second choice**
Principal: 5,000$
Rate(%): 4%
Time(year): 5 years
A: 6,000$

6,000-5,750=250$

Hope this helps!
