2x - 3y = -14 5x + 9y = -2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Firlakuza [10]3 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3y= -14

5x+9y= -2

multiply the first one by 5 and the second one by -2 to get equal and opposite value of x.

➡️when you multiply,it will be

10x-15y= -70

-10x-18y= 4

cancel out each x value,then you get

-15y-18y= -70+4

-33y= -66, divide each side by -33 to get the value of y

⚪️y= 2

➡️substitute the value of y in the equation of (2x-3y= -14) to find the value of x

2x-3(2)= -14

2x-6= -14

2x= -14+6

2x= -8 divide both side by 2

⚪️x= -4

so the answer is (-4,2)

The ratio 2/8 could represent which of the following?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

<u>C) 2parts that are one eight each.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason I chose <u>C)</u> as the correct answer is becasue I evaluated it with the steps below.

A) - 8 parts that are one fourth each.

  <u>This cannot be correct because it would surpase the 2/8ths (would be over).</u>

B) - 4 parts that are one-half each.

  <u>This cannot be correct because it would surpass the 2/8ths (would be over).</u>

C) - 2parts that are one eight each.

  <u>This can be correct because 2 parts have 1/8th. 1/8 + 1/8 = 2/8.</u>

D) - 2parts that are one fourth each.

  This cannot be correct because the denominator is not 8, it is 4 meaning it wouldn't fit into the format the question asked for (which was 2/8).

<u>This makes the correct answer C).</u>

<u></u>

  I hope this helps you understand and helps you in your question.
