Answer:
the answer is (-4, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use elimination by addition / subtraction:
-6x - 2y = 14
6x + 7y = 11
-------------------
5y = 25, so y = 5.
Substituting 5 for y in the 2nd equation, we get:
6x + 7(5) = 11, or:
6x + 35 = 11, or
6x = -24, or x = -4.
Thus, the answer is (-4, 5). Please double check to ensure you have copied down both system of equations and answer correctly.
Check: Is (-4, 5) a solution to this system?
Subst. -4 for x and 5 for y in the first equation:
-3(-4) - (5) = 7
12 - 5 = 7 YES
#6
Yes
Direct variation because Time increases cupcakes increases and vice versa
#B
Constant of proportionality represents the amount of time required per cupcakes
#7
Yes we can find it
We have to check the x and y values of the ordered pairs (x,y)
If y is decreasing with respect to increase in x then it's inverse variation

It you want to find the speed of the cat, all you have to do is divide 35 by 0.8.
Answer:
x = 3 . . . or . . . x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The factored form is ...
(x -3)(x -4) = 0
The zero product rule tells you the solutions are the values of x that make the factors be zero:
x = 3
x = 4

Comment on factoring
When the leading coefficient is 1, the coefficient of the x-term is the sum of the constants in the binomial factors, and the constant term is their product. You can see this by multiplying out the generic case:
(x +a)(x +b) = x^2 +(a+b)x + ab
What this means is that when you're factoring, you're looking for factors of the constant that add up to give the coefficient of the x-term. Here, the x-term is negative and the constant is positive, so both factors will be negative.
12 = -1×-12 = -2×-6 = -3×-4
The sums of these factor pairs are -13, -8, -7. Clearly, the last pair of factors of 12 will be useful to us, since that sum is -7. So, the binomial factors of our equation are ...
(x -3)(x -4) = 0
___
If the leading coefficient is not zero, the method of factoring is similar, but slightly different. Numerous videos and web sites discuss the method(s).
Answer:
x= -5
