The correct answer is 2x-1
Answer:
(2, 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x - 5y = - 9 → (1)
x + 2y = 8 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term, that is
- 3x - 6y = - 24 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x
(3x - 3x) + (- 5y - 6y) = (- 9 - 24), that is
- 11y = - 33 ( divide both sides by - 11 )
y = 3
Substitute y = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting in (2)
x + 2(3) = 8
x + 6 = 8 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
x = 2
Solution is (2, 3 )
We round a number to three significant figures in the same way that we would round to three decimal places. We count from the first non-zero digit for three digits. We then round the last digit. We fill in any remaining places to the right of the decimal point with zeros.
For a line to be parallel to another line, the slope must be the same.
The line given is y = 3x - 5 , so the other line's slope has to be 3.
so your answer would be A. y = 3x + 5.
