Answer:

(-3,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

-x+y=2

3x-5y=-4

in the top equation, we can get y by itself on one side of the equation:

-x+y=2

y=x+2

now, since we know that y=x+2, in the bottom equation we can substitute x+2 for y (substitution method) and solve:

3x-5y=-4

3x-5(x+2)=-4

3x-5x-10=-4

-2x-10=-4

-2x=6

x=-3

since we now know that x=-3, we can use it to find y by plugging in -3 for x in the top equation (you can do it in either equation, but doing it in the top equation is easier):

y=x+2

y=-3+2

y=-1

answer: (-3, -1)

Answer:

The answer is $\{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(1,2)(2,3)(3,4),(1,3),(1,4)\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a reflexive relation $R\subset \mathcal{P}(X)$ , where $\mathcal{P}(X)$ is the power set of $X$ , is one which conteins the ordered pairs of the form $(a,a)$ , for $a\in X$ .

So, As the reflexive and transitive closure of $R$ (that we will denote by $\overline{R}$ ) is in particular reflexive, we must add to $R$ the elements $\{(1,1) , (2,2),(3,3),(4,4) \}$

A transitive relation $R$ is one in which if the pair $(a,b)$ and the pair $(b,c)$ are in there, then the pair $(a,c)$ must be there too.

So, to complete the relation $R$ to be reflexive and transitive we must add the pair $(1,3)$ (because $(1,2),(2,3)$ are in $R$ ), the pair $(2,4)$ , and the pair $(1,4)$ because we added the pair $(2,4)$ .

Therfore we have that $\overline{R}=\{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(1,2)(2,3)(3,4),(1,3),(1,4)\}$ .

What is the GCF of 48m5n and 81m2n2?

Lady bird [3.3K]

To find the GCF of the two terms, continuous division must be done.
What can be used to divide both terms such that there is not a remainder?
Start small, let's take 2. It could be a GCF.
Move up higher, say 3. Yes, it can be a GCF.
To see if there might be a greater common factor, divide the constants by 3.
48/3 = 16
81/3 = 27
Upon inspection and contemplation, there is no more common factor between 16 and 27. So, 3 is the GCF.

Moving on, when it comes to variables. The variable with the least exponents is easily the GCF. For the variable m, the GCF is m2 and for n, the GCF is n.

Combining the three, we have the overall GCF = 3m2n
