Answer:
3.No 4.Yes 5.Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
No because there is no negative number being multiplied times a positive number
Answer:
(x, y) = (-4, -15)
Step-by-step explanation:
Perhaps you want the solution to ...
y = 3/4x -12
y = -4x -31
Equating the two expressions for y gives ...
3/4x -12 = -4x -31
3/4x = -4x -19 . . . . . add 12
3x = -16x -76 . . . . . multiply by 4
19x = -76 . . . . . . . . . add 16x
x = -76/19 = -4 . . . . divide by 19
y = (3/4)(-4) -12 = -15 . . . . use the first equation to find y
The solution to this system of equations is ...
(x, y) = (-4, -15)
Essentially, the rule goes as so: odd + odd = even, even + even = even.
Although that may not be the answer you're looking for, it is a math rule that is never debunked and essentially the premises for why you get an even sum practically always depending on the numbers.
Hope this helps!
