Answer: You can multiply the top equation by -1 to eliminate the x variable.
And the solution is (2,4/3) in case you need it.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 8
2x + 6y = 12
If you multiply the upper equation or down equation by one, you will be able to eliminate the x variable.
-1( 2x + 3y) = -1(8) New equation: -2x -3y = -8.
Add the new equation you got by multiplying the top equation by -1 to the bottom equation.
Add them: -2x -3y = -8
2x + 6y = 12
3y = 4
y = 4/3
You can now input the value for y into the one of the equations and solve for x.
-2x - 3(4/3) = -8
-2x -4 = -8
+4 +4
-2x = -4
x = 2

Answer:
the average diastolic blood pressure for adults is 120/80 mmHg
Step-by-step explanation:
Usually the 120/80 is very normal and anything under 110/70 is very dangerous and anything over 140/90 is dangerous as well
Answer:
<h2>|−9|, −|−9| and −|9| </h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we choose all the expression that is equal to -9, <em>we must understand that the modulus of a value can return both its positive and negative value</em>. For example, Modulus of b can either be +b or -b i.e |b| = +b or -b
Hence the following expression are all equal ro -9
a) |−9| is equivalent to -9 because the absolute value of -9 i.e |−9| can return both -9 and 9
b) −|−9| is also equivalent to -9. The modulus of -9 is also equal to 9, hence negating 9 will give us -9. This shows that −|−9| = −|9| = −9
c) −|9| is also equivalent to -9. This has been established in b above.
