y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 6. #1

2x + y = -2. #2

Subtract Eq 2 from Eq 1,

3y - y = 6 - (-2)

2y = 8

or

y = 4

Answer:

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 6

2x + y = -2

Let's set the second equation equal to y. This means that y will be alone on one side of the equal sign.

2x + y = -2

Subtract 2x from both sides.

y = -2x - 2

Now that we have y as an expression, plug it into the first equation.

2x + 3y = 6

2x + 3(-2x - 2) = 6

Distribute the 3 across the parentheses by multiplying.

2x - 6x - 6 = 6

Combine like terms.

-4x = 12

Divide both sides by -4.

x = -3

Now we have solved x.

To solve for y, plug x back into one of the equations.

y = -2x - 2

y = -2(-3) - 2

Multiply.

y = 6 - 2

Subtract.

y = 4

Check your answer by plugging both values back into the original equations.

2x + 3y = 6

2(-3) + 3(4) = 6

Multiply.

-6 + 12 = 6

Add.

6 = 6

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

a) -4

b) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

a) f(-2) = 3*-2 + 2 = -4

b) f(x) = 8

3x + 2 = 8

3x = 8 -2

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2

A race car accelerates at 2 m/s2 from 12 m/s to 18 m/s. Find distance and time
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Distance = 45 meters

Time = 3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate distance and time

To find the time, we can use one of the Newtons law of motion

V = U + at

In this question

V = final velocity = 18 m/s

U = initial velocity = 12 m/s

a = acceleration

Thus;

18 = 12 + 2(t)

18-12 = 2t

2t = 6

t = 6/2

t = 3 seconds

Mathematically we can also find the distance using one of the equation of motion;

D = ut + 1/2 at^2

D = 12(3) + 1/2 * (2) * 3^2

D = 36 + 9

D = 45 m

BRAINLIEST + POINTS! Help needed and explanation please!
sattari [20]

The Median is the middle value.

Arrange the numbers in order from smallest to largest:


Seattle:  23.78 , 32.46, 40.30, 45.79, 49.42, 55.14

Since there is an even number, the median is found by adding the 2 middle numbers and dividing by 2.

Median for Seattle: 40.30 + 45.79 = 86.09 / 2 = 43.045


Now do the same for Las Vegas:

2.33, 3.72, 3.84, 4.11, 5.62, 8.79

Median for Las Vegas: 3.84 + 4.11 = 7.95 / 2 = 3.975


Difference: 43.045 - 3.975 = 39.07


The answer is B.
