spin [16.1K]3 years ago

<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>

Find the inverse of the function.<br> y=3x–5
PIT_PIT [208]

Step-by-step explanation:

it means that x has now to be the result variable, and y the input variable.

so,

y = 3x - 5

y + 5 = 3x

x = (y + 5)/3

and as a final touch, to make the inverse a "normal function", we rename x to y and y to x and get

y = (x + 5)/3

as the inverse function

Number #16 please?and 17
tatiyna

Answer:

16. Yes

17. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the angles are congruent (due to parallel lines) the two triangles are similar. Similar triangles form congruent ratios between their corresponding sides.

Since the quadrilaterals are similar, this means the angles in each are congruent. This will not change when divided by diagonals. The triangles in each will have congruent angles and their sides will maintain equivalent ratios.
