Answer:

Nicole is correct, since when she multiplied by 3, she cleared the x's, since one x was already negative, and the other one was positive. Michael is incorrect since when he multiplied by 2, he didn't realize that both y's were positive, so they didn't clear.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's see what will happen if we do what Nicole says:

x+2y=7

-3x+4y=9

multiply the first equation by 3 on both sides

3(x+2y)=7(3)

3x+6y=21

-3x+4y=9

now let's add them.

10y=30

We can see that the x's are cleared, since one x is positive and the other is negative.

Now let's try what Michael says.

x+2y=7

-3x+4y=9

multiply first equation by 2

2(x+2y)=7

2x+4y=7

-3x+4y=9

now let's add

-x+8y=16

the y's aren't eliminated, since both of them are positive.

Nicole is correct, since one x is positive and another was negative, and when opposite numbers are added together, they  cancel out and equal zero.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Nicole is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

by multiplying the first equation by 3 it becomes:

3x + 6y =21

this can cancel the -3x in the second equation when adding them together

What is 2p + (3q + 2) = (2p + 3q) + 2
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

associative property of addition

Step-by-step explanation:

2p + (3q + 2) = (2p + 3q) + 2

There are no terms that can be combined since there are no like terms

We are using the associative property to move the parentheses from one  group of terms to the other.

If you vertically compress the linear parent function, F(x) = x, by multiplying by 1/2 , what is the equation of the new functio
ElenaW [278]
Vertical compression of a function is moving the graph of the function towards the x axis.
It is done by multiplying F(x) with IaI<1, the absolute value of a is less than 1. Then we get f(x)=a*F(x).

If we have a function F(x)=x, and we multiply it by a=1/2, we get:

f(x)=a*F(x)=a*x=(1/2)*x.

This linear function is vertically compressed because the the graph of a new function is closer to the x axis.
